Was zeichnet eine gute Verantwortungsteilung aus? Kriterien für die Allokation von Zuständigkeiten im Flüchtlingsschutz
Flüchtlingsschutz ist eine Aufgabe, die der gesamten Staatengemeinschaft zukommt. Die zentralen Akteure sind jedoch einzelne Staaten, die Geflüchtete aufnehmen, Verfahren durchführen und Unterkünfte finanzieren. Entsprechend stellt sich die Frage, wie die Verantwortung für Geflüchtete auf Staaten aufgeteilt werden sollte. Das Thema ist hochumstritten, sowohl in der öffentlichen Debatte wie auch in akademischen Diskursen. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist …
The Allocation of Refugees to Host States
When states cooperate in refugee protection and implement a scheme with fixed rules allocating refugees to host states, should they consider refugees' interests and preferences regarding where they receive protection? This article briefly examines the kinds of preferences and interests that are relevant to both refugees and states before discussing the moral principles determining the respective weight that should be attributed to them. We conclu…
The normative justification of obligatory integration policies
The Right to Preserve Culture
Although a supposed right to preserve culture is frequently invoked in normative debates, philosophical literature has produced scarcely any attempt to treat it as a particular claim that differs from other cultural rights and, for that reason, is in need of a particular justification. Only by clarifying the content and the normative reasons underlying the supposed right, however, is it possible to evaluate the numerous political claims that have…
Do Immigrants have a Moral Duty to Learn the Host Society’s Language
In many Western countries, the host society expects immigrants to learn the official language and often reacts in severe ways if they do not. One of the normative questions that arise in this context is whether immigrants have a moral duty to learn the host society’s language. The paper evaluates the four most promising arguments for why immigrants might have such a duty: respect towards the host society; the unavoidability of communication situa…
Die Begründung der Menschenrechte
Can human rights be understood as moral rights amenable to a kind of justification capable of convincing the skeptic? If so, can such arguments be derived from the tradition of natural law or be defended by means of the laws of reason? This volume systematically juxtaposes these questions in a bid for reconciliation.
Parfit’s Mixed Maxim Objection against the Formula of Universal Law Reconsidered
In On What Matters, Derek Parfit seeks to show that disagreement between three of the most important ethical theories can be overcome and that these theories, insofar as they are defensible, converge in a unified "Triple Theory". One of the central steps in his argument is to show that a revised version of Kant's Formula of Universal Law (hereafter FUL) is defensible and that its application yields the same moral principles as defensible versions…
From Theory to Practice
It is widely accepted that Bentham was influenced by the thought of Helvétius. But the fact that Bentham copied some elements from Helvétius leads to the question of how he changed the Helvétian ideas, and in what respects he aspired to go further than Helvétius. Taking as a starting point Bentham's claim that Helvétius was the Bacon of moral science, whereas he himself was to be the Newton, I argue for the following. First, Bentham's theory can …
Die Begründung der Menschenrechte
Die Geltung von Menschenrechten ist heute international und kulturübergreifend anerkannt. Die Frage, ob und wie sich ihre Geltung begründen lassen kann, ist dagegen umstritten: Beruht ihre Geltung lediglich auf positivem Recht? Oder kann man Menschenrechte als moralische Rechte verstehen, die einer Art von Begründung zugänglich sind, die auch den Skeptiker überzeugen kann? Wenn ja, lassen sich solche Argumente aus der naturrechtlichen Tradition g…
Glück - Werte - Sinn
What does it mean to lead a good life? This anthology examines this question from an interdisciplinary philosophical and theological perspective, assembling contributions from German and international experts. The individual essays are representative of the current state of research. Suitable as an introductory work, the volume surveys the problems that prevail in this area of thought.
