Max Pensky - The Ends of Solidarity: Discourse Theory in Ethics and Politics

Description

An in-depth look at the theory of solidarity of German philosopher Jürgen Habermas, serving also as a comprehensive introduction to his work.
Jürgen Habermas's discourse theory demands that human beings see themselves in relations of solidarity that cross national, racial, and religious divides. While his theory has won adherents across a spectrum of contemporary debates, the required vision of solidarity has remained largely unexplored. In The Ends of Solidarity, Max Pensky fills this void by examining Habermas's theory of solidarity, while also providing a comprehensive introduction to the German philosopher's work. Pensky explores the impact of Habermasian discourse theory on a range of contemporary debates in politics and ethics, including the prospect of a cosmopolitan democracy across national borders; the solidarity demanded by the integration process in the European Union; the demands that immigration dynamics make on inclusive democratic societies; the divisive or unifying effects of religion in Western democracies; and the current controversies in genetic technology.
"This book is extremely well written and well argued. Pensky creatively weaves together several strands in contemporary social theory, ethics, and politics." -- Seyla Benhabib, author of The Rights of Others: Aliens, Residents, and Citizens
"Pensky provides the best available treatment of Habermas's most recent works on globalization, ethics, and democracy. There is no comparable book on this aspect of Habermas's work, especially timely given current debates in political philosophy." -- James Bohman, author of Democracy across Borders: From Dêmos to Dêmoi
