Kant's Politics in Context

Autor Reidar Maliks
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 sep 2014
Kant's Politics in Context is the first comprehensive contextual study of Kant's legal and political philosophy. It gives an account of the development of his thought before, during, and after the French revolution. Reidar Maliks argues that Kant provided a philosophical defence of the revolution's republican ideals while aiming to avoid the twin dangers of anarchy and despotism. Central to this was a concept of equal freedom, constituted by legal rights and duties within a state. The close connection between freedom and the rule of law accounts for the centrality of the state in Kants thought.That Kant idealized the public sphere is well known, but that he intentionally developed his own philosophy in polemical essays and pamphlets aimed for a wide audience has not been fully appreciated. Maliks shows how our understanding of Kant's political philosophy can be enriched through paying attention to the discussions he sparked during the 1790swhere radical followers including Fichte, Erhard, and Bergk clashed with conservative critics such as Rehberg, Möser, and Gentz. This book provides fresh knowledge about a foundational moment for modern political thought and offers a new perspective on Kant's central political concepts, including freedom, rights, citizenship, revolution, and war.

Recenzii

The book is well-written and the arguments are well-established. I highly recommend the book for anyone who is interested in Kant's moral and political philosophy.
The book nicely illuminates Kants political philosophy in its socio-historical context... The book is well-written and the arguments are well-established. I highly recommend the book for anyone who is interested in Kants moral and political philosophy.
In Kants Politics in Context, Reidar Maliks convincingly sketches how Kants theorizing responded not only to the French Revolutions often harrowing consequences but also to friends and foes who sought to use Kants philosophy to make sense of those events...Both goals are admirably met, and the result is a lively image of Kant among his contemporaries during an extremely rich period of political philosophizing.
This book situates Kants political writings in relation to the sociopolitical context of his day. As such, it is an important contribution to the literature on Kants political philosophy...This is an excellent book and should be read by anyone with an interest in Kant or enlightenment political philosophy.
This is scholarship at a very high level. Scrupulously well argued and rigorously structured, Maliks's book offers some fascinating insights into Kant's political philosophy and his times.
Kant's Politics in Context is a remarkable piece of scholarship. Unusually, it will make for stimulating reading for Kant scholars--who have much to gain from Maliks's contextualist approach--as well as serving as a clear introduction to Kant's political theory. ...we can be thankful to Reidar Maliks for restoring to full view the teleology of a human being urgently and consummately engaged with the political issues of his day.
Maliks' groundbreaking study shows that Kant's solutions appear much less mysterious once the development in Kant's thought is connected to the contemporaneous debates on the political implications of his philosophy
Reidar Maliks' Kant's Politics in Context is a much needed addition to the literature on Kant's legal and political philosophy. ...Maliks throws considerable light onto the development of Kant's legal and political thought and provides an invaluable picture of the German public sphere during that time. ...It is a significant contribution to recent Kant scholarship and, last but not least, a fascinating read
it is beyond doubt that Maliks' argument succeeds in revealing the significance of Kant's distinctive philosophy of politics and law in the face of alternative political-legal visions found in that period of European intellectual history.
I strongly recommend Kants Politics in Context. I learned much from it, and so should anyone interested in Kants intellectual context, the development of Kants political philosophy, the early appropriations of Kants ethics for political purposes or the reception of Theory and Practice.
Maliks not only succeeds in bringing these contexts to life, but he also contributes to a more profound systematic understanding of Kants political philosophy." "In sum, this is an excellent book and a very good read. It would be desirable if more followed the methodology of contextualism as it is applied in this book.
this is a very fine book. It greatly enriches our understanding of the development of Kants political thinking in the 1790s, and provides an excellent (and in anglophone scholarship long overdue)introduction into the broader political debates in the German public sphere in the post-revolutionary period.
What is so striking when reading about Kant's politics in Maliks' book about him is how modern he was, and how this most German of thinkers departed from the stereotype of the teutonic Meisterdenker, and instead came close to the ideal of the British constitutionalist.
The translation of Kants ideas into more recognisable and accessible terminology from the perspective of a modern reader is an incredibly useful reading tool, particularly for readers who may be less familiar with, or completely new to, Kants writing.
Kant thought of philosophy, including political philosophy, as an a priori discipline. As such, his work might be expected to be resistant or even hostile to any sort of contextualization. In this excellent book, Reidar Maliks explores Kant's relation to the events of his era and the political debates of his contemporaries, but does so without dismissing or compromising his philosophical ambitions. It will be essential reading for both Kant scholars and anyone interested in the history of political thought.
By meticulously reconstructing the lively debates between Kant and his many interlocutors, including both his radical and conservative followers, Reidar Maliks illuminates the revolutionary circumstances that shaped Kant's political thought. Maliks' incisive philosophical analysis of Kant on freedom, equality, citizenship, resistance, and peace elucidates German Enlightenment republican thought on its own terms and yet, precisely in doing so, demonstrates its resonances with contemporary political dilemmas.
That Immanuel Kant idealized the public sphere in a time in which the public sphere was still more an ideal than an actually reality is well known. Less well known is that he intentionally developed his own philosophy in public discourse. This is one of the insights of Reidar Maliks' book, a welcome contribution in the knowledge of a philosopher whose ideas shaped so deeply the way the moderns came to conceive of politics as a discursive practice in the open that relies on information and citizens' judgment. Maliks' is a must-read book.'
In the past decades, political philosophy has recovered the systematic appeal of Kant's legal and political thought, but often at the cost of separating it from its origins in the late Enlightenment debates on liberty and paternalism, on republicanism and autocracy, on peace, revolution, and war. Reidar Maliks identifies Kants important precursors in theories of sovereignty and natural law, but also introduces his lesser known interlocutors, conservative or radical, in Europe's revolutionary debates. Maliks offers the first comprehensive English-language contextual reading of Kant's political thought, embedding Kant into the discussions of his age, yet never losing sight of the conceptual standards of todays philosophical debate.
an excellent, well-written, precise and enjoyable book
