پیوندهای اجتماعی به عنوان آزادی: بازنگری در دوگانگی جهانی و خاص

Central to discussions of multiculturalism and minority rights in modern liberal societies is the idea that the particular demands of minority groups contradict the requirements of equality, anonymity, and universality for citizenship and belonging. The contributors to this volume question the significance of this dichotomy between the universal and the particular, arguing that it reflects how the modern state has instituted the basic rights and obligations of its members and that these institutions are undergoing fundamental transformations under the pressure of globalization. They show that the social bonds uniting groups constitute the means of our freedom, rather than obstacles to achieving the universal.-- Provided by publisher Incompleteness and the possibility of making : towards denationalized citizenship? / Saskia Sassen Justice and culture : new contradictions in the era of techno-nihilistic capitalism / Mauro Magatti Bounded justifiability : making commonality on the basis of binding engagements / Laurent Thevenot On the poverty of our freedom / Axel Honneth Western humanitarianism and the representation of distant suffering : a genealogy of moral grammars and visual regimes / Fuyuki Kurasawa Parochial altruism and Christian universalism : on the deep difficulties of creating solidarity without outside enemies / Wolfgang Palaver Partial commitments and universal obligations / Paul Dumouchel A reluctant cosmopolitan / Anne Phillips Liberal autonomy and minority accommodation : a new approach / Geoffrey Brahm Levey Cultural boundaries and the reasonable accommodation of minorities : is secularism enough? / Gurpreet Mahajan Arrow, Rawls and Sen : the transformation of political economy and the idea of liberalism / Reiko Gotoh Conclusion : social bonds as freedom.
