En este volumen se recogen una serie de estudios, reflexiones y propuestas prácticas en torno a las nociones de violencia, justicia y libertad. Sus responsables consideran que es urgente reflexionar sobre ellas, pues nuestras acciones, nuestra respuesta o nuestra indiferencia ante la violencia o la injusticia, dependen de lo que entendamos por un Estado justo o lo que signifique para nosotros ser libre. Partiendo de diferentes tradiciones filosóficas y de autores que han abordado estas cuestiones a lo largo de la historia, nos preguntamos qué relación hay actualmente entre la violencia, la justicia y la libertad: ¿es la libertad sin límites necesariamente violenta? ¿Se puede luchar por la justicia con medios violentos, sin caer en la injusticia? ¿Contribuye nuestra sociedad a la realización de un mundo más justo?

Die Kernthematik der Beiträge ist die Verbindung zweier geisteswissenschaftlichen Kernbegriffe: »Bildung« und »Freiheit«. Während in den öffentlichen und fachlichen Debatten die Problemstellungen und Sachverhalte getrennt verhandelt werden, welche unter Bildung und Freiheit gefasst sind, soll der intrinsische Zusammenhang beider Begriffe im Anschluss an Hegels elaborierte Bildungstheorie untersucht werden. Erst mit diesem Zugang gewinnt das Begriffspaar eine analytische Kraft, um Problemfelder moderner Gesellschaften nicht nur zu begreifen, sondern transdisziplinäre Perspektiven zu eröffnen, die aus den Dilemmata und Blockaden herausführen, welche sich in den gegenwärtigen Debatten um Bildung zunehmend zeigen. Vertreten sind Beiträge aus Philosophie, Bildungsforschung, Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft und Rechtswissenschaft.

This extended essay by one of the world's leading historians seeks, in its first part, to excavate and to vindicate, the neo-Roman theory of free citizens and free states as it developed in early modern Britain. This analysis leads on to a powerful defence of the nature, purposes and goals of intellectual history and the history of ideas. As Quentin Skinner says, 'the intellectual historian can help us to appreciate how far the values embodied in our present way of life, and our present ways of thinking about those values, reflect a series of choices made at different times between different possible worlds'. This essay provides one of the most substantial statements yet made about the importance, relevance and potential excitement of this form of historical enquiry. Liberty before Liberalism is based on Quentin Skinner's Inaugural Lecture as Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge, delivered in 1997.

In The Gift of Freedom, Mimi Thi Nguyen develops a new understanding of contemporary United States empire and its self-interested claims to provide for others the advantage of human freedom. Bringing together critiques of liberalism with postcolonial approaches to the modern cartography of progress, Nguyen proposes'the gift of freedom'as the name for those forces that avow to reverence aliveness and beauty, and to govern an enlightened humanity, while producing new subjects and actions—such as a grateful refugee, or enduring war—in an age of liberal empire. From the Cold War to the global war on terror, the United States simultaneously promises the gift of freedom through war and violence and administers the debt that follows. Focusing here on the figure of the Vietnamese refugee as the twice-over target of the gift of freedom—first through war, second through refuge—Nguyen suggests that the imposition of debt precludes the subjects of freedom from escaping those colonial histories that deemed them'unfree.'To receive the gift of freedom then is to be indebted to empire, perhaps without end.
