The Politics of Decency and Non-Humiliation (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This collective volume provides the first assessment of the work of political philosopher Avishai Margalit, with particular attention to his concepts of decency and non-humiliation. The book brings together prominent philosophers from Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa to explore the concepts of decency and non-humiliation in a global perspective, situating their own approaches within the framework of Margalit’s intellectual legacy. 

The chapters examine the relationship between decency, morality, justice, compromise, recognition and dialogue, and address pressing normative questions, from preventing humiliation to sustaining decency in past and contemporary societies. The volume also features an exclusive interview with Avishai Margalit himself. 

In a global landscape marked by the rise of authoritarian regimes and ongoing wars, the concepts of decency and non-humiliation take on new urgency and relevance. This volume will be of particular interest to scholars and students of political theory and political philosophy interested in these key debates.
