The rules and institutions they follow rest on justification narratives that have evolved over time and, taken together, constitute a dynamic and tension-laden normative order.In this collection of essays, the first translation into English of the ground-breaking Normativität und Macht (Suhrkamp 2015), Rainer Forst presents a new approach to critical theory. Each essay reflects on the basic principles that guide our normative thinking. Forst's argument goes beyond 'ideal' and 'realist' theories and shows how closely the concepts of normativity and power are interrelated, and how power rests on the capacity to influence, determine, and possibly restrict the space of justifications for others. By combining insights from the disciplines of philosophy, history, and the social sciences, Forst re-evaluates theories of justice, as well as of power, and provides the tools for a critical theory of relations of justification.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 243mmItem Length: 165mmItem Width: 19mmAuthor: Rainer ForstGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Weight: 480gRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
