Liberalism seems to demand a follow-up question: “Who am I to judge?” Peaceful coexistence, in this view, is predicated on restraint from morally evaluating our peers. But Rahel Jaeggi sees the situation differently. Criticizing is not only valid but also useful, she argues. Moral judgment is no error; the error lies in how we go about judging.  One way to judge is external, based on universal standards derived from ideas about God or human nature. The other is internal, relying on standards peculiar to a given society. Both approaches have serious flaws and detractors. In Critique of Forms of Life, Jaeggi offers a third way, which she calls “immanent” critique. Inspired by Hegelian social philosophy and engaged with Anglo-American theorists such as John Dewey, Michael Walzer, and Alasdair MacIntyre, immanent critique begins with the recognition that ways of life are inherently normative because they assert their own goodness and rightness. They also have a consistent purpose: to solve basic social problems and advance social goods, most of which are common across cultures. Jaeggi argues that we can judge the validity of a society’s moral claims by evaluating how well the society adapts to crisis—whether it is able to overcome contradictions that arise from within and continue to fulfill its purpose.  Jaeggi enlivens her ideas through concrete, contemporary examples. Against both relativistic and absolutist accounts, she shows that rational social critique is possible.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729996521745,"sku":"NGR9780674737754","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/067473775X.jpg?v=1750847678"},{"product_id":"karl-marx-perspektiven-der-gesellschaftskritik-book-rahel-jaeggi-9783050063218","title":"Karl Marx - Perspektiven Der Gesellschaftskritik","description":"philosophie, konomie und Politik sind die drei wichtigsten Koordinaten, welche das Werk von Karl Marx markieren. Diese Begriffe stellen aber nicht etwa thematische Rubriken oder Disziplinenunterscheidungen dar, sondern bilden theoretische Kategorien, die zueinander in einem Negations- oder Kontestationsverhltnis stehen. Den im vorliegenden Band versammelten Texten geht es um eine systematische Reflexion dieser drei Begriffe und ihres Verhltnisses zueinander vor dem Hintergrund aktueller sozialer und politischer Entwicklungen. Die Texte bieten einen berblick ber Disparitt und Spannbreite von Anstzen und berlegungen, die sich heute auf Marx beziehen: von Arbeiten ber aristotelische, hegelsche oder fouriersche Einflsse in Marx' Arbeiten ber Bezge zur Neoklassik oder analytischen Philosophie bis hin zu postkolonialen und feministischen Theorien. Auch sie stehen zueinander in ebenso einem Konkurrenz- wie in einem Komplementrverhltnis, denn sie widersprechen einander zwar, verweisen so aber auch einander auf blinde Flecken oder Problemfelder. Gemeinsam ist ihnen allerdings eine Unzufriedenheit mit den Beschrnkungen der Vorherrschaft des politischen Liberalismus, mit welchem sich nach Eindruck der Beitragenden weder die Pathologien den gegenwrtigen Gesellschaftsformation, noch eine fruchtbare politische Perspektive zu deren Vernderung gewinnen lsst.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51185797136657,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51185799659793,"sku":"NIN9783050063218","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3050063211.jpg?v=1751382073"},{"product_id":"progress-and-regression-book-rahel-jaeggi-9780674298019","title":"Progress and Regression","description":"In the tradition of the great dialecticians, Rahel Jaeggi revitalizes the idea of progress by confronting its opposite: regression. Reckoning with growing inequality, ecological erosion, and assaults on critical thinking and reason itself, Jaeggi argues for a vision of progress capable of transcending difference and promoting universal welfare.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51684388045073,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51684388176145,"sku":"NGR9780674298019","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52495857058065,"sku":"NIN9780674298019","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0674298012.jpg?v=1779961789"},{"product_id":"alienation-book-rahel-jaeggi-9780231151986","title":"Alienation","description":"The Hegelian-Marxist idea of alienation fell out of favor after the postmetaphysical rejection of humanism and essentialist views of human nature. In this book Rahel Jaeggi draws on the Hegelian philosophical tradition, phenomenological analyses grounded in modern conceptions of agency, and recent work in the analytical tradition to reconceive alienation as the absence of a meaningful relationship to oneself and others, which manifests in feelings of helplessness and the despondent acceptance of ossified social roles and expectations.  A revived approach to alienation helps critical social theory engage with phenomena such as meaninglessness, isolation, and indifference. By severing alienation's link to a problematic conception of human essence while retaining its social-philosophical content, Jaeggi provides resources for a renewed critique of social pathologies, a much-neglected concern in contemporary liberal political philosophy. Her work revisits the arguments of Rousseau, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger, placing them in dialogue with Thomas Nagel, Bernard Williams, and Charles Taylor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51726475002129,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51726476149009,"sku":"CIN0231151985G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53192169423121,"sku":"GOR010985607","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53193466577169,"sku":"GOR010997093","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231151985.jpg?v=1751389055"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-rahel-jaeggi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
