Normativity and Power: Analyzing Social Orders of Justification by Rainer Forst

Description: Normativity and Power by Rainer Forst Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The English translation of Forsts Normativität und Macht (2015), this book continues to develop the authors account of the nature of social orders and their justifications by re-evaluating fundamental philosophical concepts such as reason and power. Publisher Description Humans are justificatory beingsthey offer, demand, and require justifications. 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 criticaltheory. Each essay reflects on the basic principles that guide our normative thinking. Forsts argument goes beyond ideal and realist theories and shows how closely the concepts of normativity and power areinterrelated, 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.
