Conspiracy Theories and Miracles
Conspiracy theories exhibit a paranoid epistemology-assuming intrigue and cover-up for which there can be no evidence, rather than seeking evidence to establish suspicion. A form of collective rationalization, they derive their appeal not from their explanatory power, but from their emotional and existential benefits. Like miracles, conspiracy theories are not failed attempts at genuine explanation, but the corruption of explanation masquerading …
Internal Exile and Politics
This essay has two parts. One scans notions of inner exile as withdrawal from society; the other examines politics. There are many ways of withdrawing from society: solitary life in a remote place, or retreat to the "inner citadel," the inner self free from the yoke of society. But withdrawal can take place while being amidst society. The essay addresses moral implications of retreat from society, especially from its politics. The discussion conc…

Jeremiah's Autonomy
Excerpt: Jeremiah stands for a radical change in what constitutes religious attitude. Morality is not an added ingredient to religion; it is its essence. He calls for a new religious consciousness based on morality, not on the cultic. Religion without morality is empty, and morality without religion is blind. The important part of the signal is the recognition that religion as an autonomous practice without morality is idolatrous—whatever form it…
On Betrayal
Betrayal seems to have lost its grip on the public consciousness in liberal societies, yet it is all around us, dissolving the thick glue of trust that holds friends, families, and communities together. By focusing on the ethics of betrayal, Avishai Margalit offers a philosophical account of what we owe those who give us our sense of belonging
Normal Rationality
How do people proceed when they cannot act on the basis of reasons, or project likely consequences? How is social order possible? Ullmann-Margalit demonstrates that people have identifiable strategies for making difficult decisions, whether the question is small (what to buy at a supermarket) or big (whether to transform one’s life in some large-scale way). She also shows that social dilemmas are solved by norms; that invisible-hand explanations …
The Power of Ideas
The essays collected in this new volume reveal Isaiah Berlin at his most lucid and accessible. He was constitutionally incapable of writing with the opacity of the specialist, but these shorter, more introductory pieces provide the perfect starting-point for the reader new to his work. Those who are already familiar with his writing will also be grateful for this further addition to his collected essays. The connecting theme of these essays, as i…
Power of Ideas
Revisiting God's Authority
This is an essay in political theology, namely the theological underpinnings of politics. It is centered on the idea of the authority of God and its current implications in radical political Islam. There is a tension between two attributes of God as the source of authority: the will and reason. The will stresses God's absolute decisionism as the source of his authority among the radical Islamists. The Messenger (Muhammad) who conveys God's will i…
Apostasie
Warum Verrat? Heute scheint die Vorstellung von Verrat kein Thema mehr zu sein. So bleibt heutzutage in liberalen Staaten etwa Untreue als Verletzung sexueller Monogamie auf die Privatsphäre persönlicher Beziehungen beschränkt. Apostasie ist in liberalen Gesellschaften von einem Akt des Verrats zu einem Grundrecht geworden. Avishai Margalits Interesse an Apostasie ist kein theologisches, sondern ein philosophisch-anthropologisches; es zielt nicht…

Israël et le statut des civils dans la guerre antiterroriste
Comment une armée régulière, qui agit sur un territoire dont son État n'a pas la maîtrise, doit-elle traiter les populations civiles qui se trouvent sur le terrain d'opération ? Peut-elle privilégier la sécurité de ses propres soldats ou peut-on plaider, même dans les actions antiterroristes, pour le maintien de la distinction entre combattants et civils
Political Theology
There are two theses that are intimately related to the idea of authority. One is political theology. It is associated with the name of Carl Schmitt. The second is moral theology. It is associated with Elizabeth Anscombe (though she never used the expression ‘moral theology’). Political theology is the claim that key notions in modern and secular political doctrines are unwittingly moored in theological and teleological world views. These notions…

Occidentalism
Modern Moral Philosophy
Although this collection of articles is not formally a commentary on Elizabeth Anscombe's famous article of the same title, in which she criticised the moral philosophy prevalent in 1958, a number of the contributors do take Anscombe's work as a starting point. Taken together the collection could be seen as a demonstration of the extent to which moral philosophers have since attempted to answer Anscombe's challenge, and to develop an approach to …
The Ethics of Memory
Much of the current interest in collective memory concerns the politics of memory. In a book that asks, "Is there an ethics of memory?" Avishai Margalit addresses a separate set of concerns. The idea he pursues is that the past, connecting people to each other, makes possible the kinds of "thick" relations we can call truly ethical. Thick relations, he argues, are those that we have with family and friends, lovers and neighbors, our tribe and our…
Liberalism and the Right to Culture
Avishai Margalit and Moshe Halbertal Liberalism and the Right to Culture SETTING UP THE PROBLEM HUMAN BEINGS HAVE A RIGHT TO CULTURE— NOT JU S T ANY CULTURE, but their own. The right to culture has far-reaching implications for the liberal conception of the state. A culture essentially requires a group, and the right to culture may involve giving groups a status that contradicts the status o f the individual in a liberal state. The right to cultu…
The Ethics of Memory
Margalit’s work offers a philosophy for our time, when, in the wake of overwhelming atrocities, memory can seem more crippling than liberating, a force more for revenge than for reconciliation. The book draws on millennia of Western philosophy and religion to provide healing ideas for all who care about the nature of our relations to others.
