A testament to what it means to be liberal by one of the most prominent political philosophers of our era

Bu iliski eszamanli olarak hem derin bir sempati hem de derin bir düsmanlik icerir. Sempati diyorum cünkü kurtaricilar sadece yabanci egemenligine karsi cikip onun yerini almakla kalmadilar, kendileriyle özdeslestirdikleri erkek ve kadinlarin gündelik hayatlarini iyilestirmek istediler onlarin olan insanlar...

La narrazione biblica dell'Esodo - dall'Egitto al deserto e alla terra promessa - è stata interpretata per secoli come una grande metafora dei processi di liberazione e rivoluzione. L'Esodo è una grande "storia", la cui eco ha reso possibile il racconto di altre "storie politiche", da Savonarola a Calvino, da Cromwell e i puritani alla Teologia della liberazione. Michael Walzer, uno dei maggiori filosofi politici americani, presenta in questo ...

Anche soltanto parlare di moralità della guerra non è impresa facile, perché la guerra è 'un inferno', come dice Walzer, e comunque un male in sé. Pur concesso ciò, si può riconoscere che due siano i problemi tipici della moralità in guerra. Valutare se e quando ricorrervi sia giusto e la liceità morale dei mezzi adoperati per ottenere la vittoria (indipendentemente dalla giustezza o meno del ricorso alla guerra). Walzer parte dall'assunzione ...

Der Kommunitarismus sei ein sinnvolles Korrektiv liberaler Politiktheorie, wenn auch kein substantielles politisches Programm - so argumentierte Michael Walzer in seinem vielbeachteten Aufsatz über »Die kommunitaristische Kritik am Liberalismus«.
