5Rights, Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics: Principled Compromises in a Compromised WorldRowman & Littlefield Publishers. 2004.Rights, Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics develops a critical theory of human rights and global democracy. Ingram both develops a theory of rights and applies it to a range of concrete and timely issues, such as the persistence of racism in contemporary American society; the emergence of so-called 'whiteness theory;' the failure of identity politics; the tensions between emphases on antidiscrimination and affirmative action in the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990;…Read more

4Philosophy in the middle of the 20th Century, between 1920 and 1968, responded to the cataclysmic events of the time. Thinkers on the Right turned to authoritarian forms of nationalism in search of stable forms of collective identity, will, and purpose. Thinkers on the Left promoted egalitarian forms of humanism under the banner of international communism. Others saw these opposed tendencies as converging in the extinction of the individual and sought to retrieve the ideals of the Enlightenment …Read more

3Habermas on Solidarity and Praxis: Between Institutional Reform and Redemptive Revolution in Critical Theory and the Challenge of PraxisIn Stefano Giacchetti Ludovisi (ed.), Critical Theory and the Challenge of Praxis: Beyond Reification, Taylor and Francis. 2015.Since its inception critical theory has been ambivalent about what kind of political practice it should promote and in the name of what kind of solidarity. Oversimplifying somewhat, the choices fall somewhere between two extremes: Should it promote institutional reform in the name of achieving democratic solidarity? Or should it promote anarchic revolution in the name of achieving solidarity with suppressed nature, redeeming integral life in its totality from narrow self-interest and instrumenta…Read more

2A Morally Enlightened Positivism? Kelsen and Habermas on the Democratic Roots of Validity in Municipal and International LawIn D. A. Jeremy Telman (ed.), Hans Kelsen in America - Selective Affinities and the Mysteries of Academic Influence, Springer Verlag. 2016.A commonplace misconception identifies Kelsen as a one-dimensional legal positivist and Habermas as a one-dimensional legal moralist. I argue, on the contrary, that both theorists defend a complex normative conception of democratic proceduralism that straddles the positivism/naturalism divide. I then show how their extension of this conception to international law commits them to a monistic human rights regime. I conclude that their realistic acknowledgment of the fragmented nature of legal para…Read more
