Ziel des Buches ist es, die Grenzen zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft zu durchbrechen, indem das Kernstück der rechtsphilosophischen Abhandlung über die Aktualität der Marxschen Rechtskritik in der Form einer modernen Tragödie dargestellt wird. Der dramatische Text, der den tragischen Fall des sowjetischen Rechtstheoretikers Jewgenij B. Paschukanis verhandelt, wird durch Vorbemerkungen und weiterführende Reflexionen in Anlehnung an das dialektische Theaterverständnis von Bertolt Brecht komplementiert. Gemeinsam bilden Stück und Reflexionen eine neuartige Form der wissenschaftlich-künstlerischen Darstellung, die einen Beitrag zur Demokratisierung von (Rechts-)Kritik leisten soll und sich gleichzeitig als eine Aktualisierung des epischen Theaters im 21. Jahrhundert versteht. Das Buch ist damit eine radikale Umsetzung der Ideen der ›Recht und Literatur‹-Bewegung, indem es die Verbindung von Kunst und Wissenschaft innerhalb desselben Textes praktisch herstellt.The book breaks down the boundaries between art and science by presenting the materialistic critique of law in the tradition of Karl Marx partly in the form of a modern tragedy. The dramatic text about the plight of Soviet legal theorist Evgeny B. Pashukanis is complemented by further reflections on the role that the critique of law plays in modern society. Together, play and reflections form a new way of scientific-artistic presentation, actualizing Brecht's epic theatre in the 21st century.

Integrates Spinoza’s thought into the contemporary debate on interpersonal relationships and individual autonomy13 new essays explore Spinoza’s relational account of autonomy and individualityIntegrates different philosophical approaches and styles, both from analytic and continental traditionsBridges the gap between history of philosophy and contemporary debatesContributes to debates across a number of fields, including Spinoza studies, contemporary political philosophy and ethics, feminist philosophy, and the philosophy of actionThe question of how to understand autonomy has emerged as a critical issue in contemporary political philosophy. Feminists and others argue that autonomy cannot be adequately conceived without taking into consideration the ways in which it is shaped by our relationships with others. This collection of 13 new essays shows what Baruch Spinoza can add to our understanding of the relational nature of autonomy. By offering a relational understanding of the nature of individuals centred on the role played by emotions, Spinoza offers not only historical roots for contemporary debates but also broadens the current discussion. At the same time, reading Spinoza as a theorist of relational autonomy underscores the consistency of his overall metaphysical, ethical and political project, which has been clouded by the standard rationalist interpretation of his works.ContributorsAurelia Armstrong, University of QueenslandKeith Green, East Tennessee State UniversityMatthew Kisner, University of South CarolinaMartin Lenz, University of GroningenCatriona Mackenzie, Macquarie UniversityHeidi M.

"Autonomy is the central idea of modern practical philosophy. Understood as self-legislation, autonomy seems to require that the validity of norms depends on recognition, namely, that their addressees, being autonomous agents, recognise these norms to be valid. But how can one be bound by norms whose validity depends on their being recognised as valid by their addressees? The questions of how autonomous morality and, on this basis, the authoritative character of law can be understood, present persistent puzzles that have been widely discussed, but still await a satisfactory solution. This book presents an analysis of the idea of autonomy as self-legislation and its consequences for law and morality. It links the idea of autonomy with the idea of the balancing of normative arguments, develops a notion of normative arguments as distinct from normative judgements and statements and explains claims to correctness and objectivity that are found in normative discourse. Thus, a 'logic of autonomy' emerges, and it is pervasive in normative reasoning. It connects theses regarding the logic of norms, the structure of balancing, human and fundamental rights, legal validity, legal interpretation, and the relations among legal systems, offering a theory of central elements of normative argumentation, a theory that is undergirded by the mutual relations that exist between and among its parts as well as through the relations that it bears to other theories. Moreover, it offers an alternative to Kantian notions of autonomy and provides solutions to problems that other theories have failed to master."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

In recent years the concepts of individual autonomy and political liberalism have been the subjects of intense debate, but these discussions have occurred largely within separate academic disciplines. Autonomy and the Challenges to Liberalism contains essays devoted to foundational questions regarding both the notion of the autonomous self and the nature and justification of liberalism. Written by leading figures in moral, legal and political theory, the volume covers inter alia the following topics: the nature of the self and its relation to autonomy, the social dimensions of autonomy and the political dynamics of respect and recognition, and the concept of autonomy underlying the principles of liberalism.

This volume brings together leading philosophers of Judaism on the issue of autonomy in the Jewish tradition. Addressing themselves to the relationship of the individual Jew to the Jewish community and to the world at large, some selections are systematic in scope, while others are more historically focused. The authors address issues ranging from the earliest expressions of individual human fulfillment in the Bible and medieval Jewish discussions of the human good to modern discussions of the necessity for the Jew to maintain both a Jewish sensibility as well as an active engagement in the modern pluralistic state. Contributors include Eugene Borowitz, Elliot N. Dorff, Daniel H. Frank, Robert Gibbs, Lenn E. Goodman, Ze'ev Levy, Kenneth Seeskin, and Martin D. Yaffe.
