4Morally philosophizing the indefensible or politically theorizing the disagreeable?Ethics and Global Politics 17 (4): 16-24. 2024.Shmuel Nili’s Philosophizing The Indefensible – Strategic Political Theory represents a sophisticated response to the widespread support of political positions that seem unreasonable from the perspective of liberal political morality. Nili takes seriously extreme right-wing, pro-life, pro-business, and climate change-sceptic positions that other liberal theorists seem to prefer sweeping under the carpet when turning towards yet another puzzle of liberalism. This is a refreshing move, which Nili …Read more

10The Global Crisis and the Psychological Feasibility of InternationalismSocial Philosophy and Policy 40 (2): 372-386. 2023.This essay revisits the metanormative version of the motivational critique of contemporary conceptions of cosmopolitan justice. I distinguish two ways of understanding this critique as leveling the charge of infeasibility against cosmopolitanism. Cosmopolitan motivation can be understood to be infeasible because it is impossible or because it is not reasonably likely to be achieved if tried. The possibilistic understanding is not persuasive, given that examples show that cosmopolitan motivation …Read more

26Democratic Citizenship Education in Digitized Societies: A Habermasian ApproachEducational Theory 73 (2): 178-203. 2023.In this article Julian Culp offers a new conceptualization of democratic citizenship education in light of the transformations of contemporary Western societies to which the use of digital technologies has contributed.

Based on this systemic, delibera…Read more

Diese Form der Demokratie soll die wichtigsten institutionellen Anforderungen Rawls’ liberal-egalitärer Auffassung binnenstaatl…Read more

17A neo-feudal world order? Introduction to the symposium on Peter Hägel’s Billionaires in World PoliticsJournal of Global Ethics 18 (2): 196-200. 2022.ABSTRACT The central aim of Peter Hägel’s Billionaires in World Politics (BWP) is to challenge the assumption that private individuals lack agency and power in world politics – an assumption that is widely shared in the field of International Relations (IR). Hägel’s methodological strategy to achieve this aim is twofold. First, he concentrates on minutest biographical aspects of billionaires to lay bare the idiosyncrasy of their choices, and to falsify, thus, structuralist assumptions of how ind…Read more

10Hooray for Global Justice? Emerging Democracies in a Multipolar WorldGlobal Justice : Theory Practice Rhetoric 7. 2014.Rising powers are fundamentally shifting the relations of power in the global economic and political landscape.

It examines the transformation of sovereignty exercised by emerging democracies and focuses especially on the case of Brazil. The paper shows that – in stark contrast to emerging democracies’ foreign …Read more

5Discourse ethics, epistemology and educational justice – A reply to Harvey SiegelTheory and Research in Education 2 (18): 151-73. 2020.This article explores the contribution of Jürgen Habermas’ discourse theory of morality, politics, and law to theorizing educational justice. First, it analyzes Christopher Martin’s discourse-ethical argument that the development of citizens’ discursive agency is required on epistemic grounds. The article criticizes this argument and claims that the moral importance of developing discursive agency should be justified instead on the basis of moral grounds. Second, the article examines Harvey Sieg…Read more

However, many learners …Read more
