Political Reason and Interest

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the necessity of a state and the foundations of a just constitution, this book examines the legitimacy of majority rule in political decision-making. It contrasts the views of Rawls and Nozick, delving into the concept of political interests, which are framed as value-based rather than solely individual or collective. Engaging with classical and modern political theories, it emphasizes Kantian and Hegelian ideas on practical reason and political power, while critiquing approaches that reduce politics to social management, including Marxism and certain liberal perspectives.
