The Human Right to Democracy is the first major study to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the debate. It reconstructs the relevant positions in that debate, identifies the key points of disagreement, and proposes an understanding of the human right to democracy that might form the basis of a wide consensus. The book rejects the idea of a comprehensive right to democratic institutions, and instead argues for a minimal ¿human right to democracy¿ which is best understood as an individual¿s right to voice. The human right to voice is a right, enjoyed by any individual independently of his or her place of residence or nationality, to be heard and supported in cases of severe injustice that is tolerated or condoned by the political community or polity of which the individual is a member. By bringing together human rights discourse and democratic theory, as well as taking into account practical politics, this study broadens the scope of the debatefrom a sometimes overly-narrow focus. The book is of interest not only to political philosophers, but also to international lawyers, diplomats, representatives of civil society, human rights activists, and specialists in development economics.

Präsentationsvideo (4. Folge der Reihe 'ÖGE18 Update') Anyone wishing to look beyond the paradigm of Western progress needs to understand how it came into being. In the intellectual culture of the 17th and 18th centuries, the competitive comparison of Ancients and Moderns and their respective relations to civilization and barbarism constituted one of the formative discourses. Yet alternative ideas of time and historicity are encountered not only in cultural contexts outside of Europe but also in the largely forgotten professional knowledge of the Old World: Thomism, Peripatetism, moderate forms of criticism, political theory, and legal practice. This book introduces a broad panorama of such intellectual cultures in Central Europe. It situates theological, historical, and philosophical scholarship in its institutional and epistemological environments: the Church, the Holy Roman Empire, and the emerging Habsburg Monarchy. In doing so, it identifies struggles over competing pasts ¿ Christian, ethnic, legal ¿ as the core of those domains' intellectual development.

Die 38 Texte dieses Bandes gleichen prismatischen Brechungen des theologischen Themas: Gottes Selbstvorstellung ¿Ich bin der Herr, dein Gott!", von Luther treffsicher als Inbegriff allen Versprechens charakterisiert. Geprägt vom jahrzehntelangen wissenschaftlichen Umgang mit Luther und Hamann, fächert der Autor dieses Prisma in dogmatischen, ethischen und religionsphilosophischen Erörterungen zu einem breiten Spektrum systematischer Theologie auf. Die hier versammelten Texte wollen der Grundorientierung lutherischer Theologie dienen: Sie sind allesamt beflügelt und getragen von der Hoffnung, dass Luthers triadischer Theologiebegriff von Vielen neu entdeckt wird, sich mehr und mehr Geltung verschafft und so die Theologie durch oratio, meditatio und tentatio ihre genuine Prägung wiedererlangt.

Jewish life in Europe has undergone dramatic changes and transformations within the 20th century and also the last two decades. The phenomenon of the dual position of the Jewish minority in relation to the majority, not entirely unusual for Jewish Diaspora communities, manifested itself most distinctly on the European continent. This unique Jewish experience of the ambiguous position of insider and outsider may provide valuable views on contemporary European reality and identity crisis. The book focuses inter alia on the main common denominators of contemporary Jewish life in Central Europe, such as an intense confrontation with the heritage of the Holocaust and unrelenting antisemitism on the one hand and on the other hand, huge appreciation of traditional Jewish learning and culture by a considerable part of non-Jewish Europeans. The volume includes contributions on Jewish life in central European countries like Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, and Germany.
