Cultural industry in the age of post-truth democracy
The truth potential of art is realized not only by great art (of educated elites) but also by the cultural industry that has become the art of the masses. Great art and cultural industry do not only contradict one another but often interpenetrate and overlap subversively. Especially in critical periods of crisis (and revolution) great art and cultural industry go together with political action. However, in more counterrevolutionary periods as now…
The public sphere and democracy in transformation
All the aspects and dimensions that can be rightfully identified as playing essential parts within the current tragedy of democracy do share a common reference point: the public sphere. In the absence of a public sphere, no political change can take place democratically. This introduction to the special issue, which continues the debate about the public sphere from a broadly understood critical theory perspective, tries to substantiate the two in…
War in World Society
In world society , all wars are world wars and so is the present war in Ukraine even if the use of violence is broadly restricted to the Ukrainian area (a restriction imposed clearly imposed by global politics). World society emerged between 1750 and 1850 together with the first world wars and world revolutions that were fought on all continents and oceans (1). There is no society beyond world society any longer. The world society pushes (but by …
Social Evolution of World Politics
The Social Evolution of World Politics
How can we understand long-term change in world politics better? Based on readings of thinkers as diverse as Habermas, Foucault and Luhmann, the authors of this book propose a framework for understanding such change in terms of social evolution. They show that processes of social learning and unlearning are key to understanding the long-term historical evolution of complex societies, and propose to approach these with the core concepts of autonom…
Ever again 1918? The threatening return of nationalism
Since we live in one single world society the national state is the wrong reference for solving problems of war and peace. Social integration beyond global Institutionalization and Symbolization increasingly becomes illusionary. A good indicator is the fact that national democracy could be implemented with full participatory inclusion in ever more countries only through the rise of autonomous world law, defining citizenship and democrartic legiti…
Chapter 7 All Nightmares Back
Chapter 7 All Nightmares Back: Dependency and Independency Theories, Religion, Capitalism, and Global Society was published in Crediting God on page 142.
Crediting God
Tocqueville suggested that "the people reign in the American political world like God over the universe.” This intuition anticipates the crisis in the secularization paradigm that has brought theology back as a fundamental part of sociological and political analysis. It has become more difficult to believe that humanity’s progress necessarily leads to atheism, or that it is possible to translate all that is good about religion into reasonable ter…
Not just a liberal – Social philosophy as antiauthoritarian and utopian social criticism
Rorty understands pragmatism in philosophy and social science, literature and art, to be intertwined with the political project of changing the world. Achieving Our Country, together with a lecture on the 150th anniversary of the Communist Manifesto, has become Rorty’s political testament. Rorty understands the leftist American project as the incomplete one of all those who fight for a classless society of boundless diversity (1). At the centre o…
Critical problems and pragmatist solutions
In this special issue, we draw on pragmatist political and social theory and philosophy to illustrate the creative potential of this intellectual tradition for thinking about the numerous crises that haunt liberal democratic societies today. The introduction identifies five overlapping problem constellations (demise of public power, lasting consequences of inequality, pluralization of society, return of authoritarian practices and globalization o…

A Marxist Educated Kant
In a lecture that Habermas gave on his 90th birthday he ironically, but with serious intent, called a good Kant a sufficiently Marxist educated Kant. This dialectical Kant is the only one of the many Kants who maintains the idea of an unconditioned moral autonomy but completely within evolution, history and in the middle of societal class and other struggles. The article tries to show what Kant could have learned from his later critics to enable …
Everything is now in order” – Groupthink, ideology and practical-critical activity in the European financial crisis and beyond
The present blockade of political action in the EU can be explained by a fatal combination of elite groupthink on the one hand and the constitutionalization of an ideology centred on the spontaneous evolution of market forces on the other. The different reactions on each side of the Atlantic to the crisis of 2008 revealed the truth that evolutionary theory cannot relieve us from 'living forward', taking political action that either emancipates us…

The Habermas Handbook
Jürgen Habermas is one of the most influential philosophers of our time. The Habermas Handbook offers a comprehensive overview and an in-depth analysis of Habermas’s work. Habermas scholars elucidate his thought, providing essential insight into his key concepts and his influence across politics, law, the social sciences, and public life.
A curtain of gloom is descending on the continent
The democratic and social states of the EU (together with other OECD countries) have transformed capitalism. This was also due not only to national but also to the impressive advances of transnational constitutionalism. Great parts of the means of production have been socialised or partly socialised. Finally, the democratic and social states of Europe did not turn to socialism, but became a new formation of democracy with socialist characteristic…

Democracy vs. Capitalism - The Consequence for Europe
Democracy under siege
For almost half a century (between 1940 and 1990) the democratic and social state has solved the twofold problem of growth and social exclusion through social inclusion within the borders of the national state. This solution since the 1970s came under threat of multiple crises of the environment, secular stagnation, under-consumption, legitimization and constitutionalization. There might be a social solution of present crisis possible through mas…
Constituent power and constitutionalization in Europe
In this article, I introduce a modified version of Koskenniemi's distinction between two kinds of constitutional mindsets: Kantian v. managerial. I combine this distinction with evolutionary theory, and in particular with the distinction between evolutionary and revolutionary change (which is also used in constitutional history) and the distinction between selective adaptation and normative constraints of adaptation. I apply this theoretical fram…
"Neugründung der Union. Lehren aus der "Flüchtlingskrise
The so called refugee crisis is not a crisis of refugees but a crisis of human rights and democracy in Europe. It must be analyzed in a postcolonial context as the return of the repressed colonial past of all Europe. During the last two years this led to a total reversion of guilt. Instead of globalized and disembedded capitalism the African and Oriental people were suggested as existential threat of European welfarism. The essay argues that the …
European Constitutionalization Between Capitalism and Democracy
Propriedade privada, crítica da reificação e a socialização dos meios de produção
O problema de uma sociedade que se baseia na propriedade privada dos meios de produção consiste nas condições desiguais e injustas de geração de riqueza econômica e de poder político. No conceito burguês de propriedade privada combinamse a reificação de conceitos universais com os interesses de classe do capital. A Filosofia do direito, de Hegel, exemplifica isso de modo paradigmático. No presente texto é feita uma tentativa de mostrar que a idei…
Reply to critics
The author of Critical Theory of Legal Revolutions discusses three major fields of objection against his outline of an evolutionary theory of public and international law. In the first part he discusses problems of action theory. There are at issue, first, the role of negation and moral resentment for the constitution of a normatively relevant social praxis, then the emergence of social systems within and from the context of the life-world, and t…
Globalising Democracy Without a State
The usefulness of Dewey's conception of a public for contemporary International Relations (IR) theory lies in its explication of an expanding network of problem-solving communities (`deliberative democracy'). The idea of a weak and deliberative public endowed with growing moral influence fits well with the globalisation of communicative media and attention to human rights. Still, inclusive discussion and deliberation combined with political prote…

European Constitutionalization Between Capitalism and Democracy
Dialectical snares
The paper starts with a thesis on the dialectical structure of modern law that goes back to the European revolutionary tradition and constitutes a legal structure that is at once emancipatory and repressive. Once it became democratic, the modern nation state has solved more or less successfully the crises that have emerged in modern Europe since the 16th Century. Yet, this state did not escape the dialectical snares of modern law and modern legal…

The co-evolution of cosmopolitan and national statehood – Preliminary theoretical considerations on the historical evolution of constitutionalism
The article claims that we should not just look towards a utopian future in fulfilling a claim about realization of a cosmopolitan, non-national world order. Already during antiquity the idea of a transcendent universal order took on a differentiated form at the same time as there happened to be institutionalization. Since the legal revolution of the long 12th century, this duality has been constitutional and has had a hierarchical structure. How…

Die Aktualität des Marxismus in der Krise - Revisionen eines Theorieprogramms
Soziale Welt is one of the important journals within German sociology and is even read in foreign countries. It includes empirical and theoretical contributions from all areas of the subject and tries to portray the development of sociology and to give a new impetus. In addition to the quarterly published issues, there are special issues with a unified theme. The journal "Soziale Welt" is aimed at sociologists, social scientists, and at generally…
Democratic Solidarity under Pressure of Global Forces
Since the 1970s, not only the economy but also religion has become global. In particular the network religions (loosely coupled sects) and the old global church of Rome belong to the winners of globalization. Yet the prize is high, and it has to be paid by the nation state that loses control over markets as well as over global religious networks. For this reason the article opens with a reflection on secularization and the possible dependency of …

Der lange Schatten des Staatswillenspositivismus
The German Sonderweg in constitutional matters was the repression of popular sovereignty. The Staatswillenspositivismus (“statuary positivism”) of the German constitutional theory from Laband to Jellinek never developed any idea of a parliamentarism that rules all state power. The Weimar discussion and mentality was deeply shadowed by the old priority of the will of the state over the will of the people. Even the legal positivism that now made th…

Zwar ist der Kulturbegriff in der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung der Politik früh heimisch geworden, der cultural turn fand hier aber erst sehr spät Resonanz.
