Not so long ago, it seemed the intellectual positions on globalization were clear, with advocates and opponents making their respective cases in decidedly contrasting terms. Recently, however, the fronts have shifted dramatically. The aim of this publication is to contribute philosophical depth to the debates on globalization conducted within various academic fields – principally by working out its normative dimensions. The interdisciplinary nature of this book’s contributors also serves to scientifically ground the ethical-philosophical discourse on global responsibility. Though by no (...) means exhaustive, the expansive scope of the works herein encompasses such other topics as the altering consciousness of space and time, and the phenomenon of globalization as a discourse, as an ideology and as a symbolic form.

Die Behauptung eines angeblichen Endes der Geschichte hat sich nicht nur als voreilig erwiesen, sondern angesichts der Krisen des 21. Jahrhunderts besteht darüber hinaus die moralische und politische Verpflichtung, die Geschichte der Zukunft als praktische Aufgabe zu verstehen. Um diese Perspektive philosophisch zu reflektieren, bedarf es einer neuen Geschichtsphilosophie, die weniger in die Vergangenheit gerichtet ist, als vielmehr die Lebensverhältnisse der Gegenwart und die zu erwartenden Bedingungen in der Zukunft in den Blick nimmt. Weil damit auch die ethische Verantwortung für (...) zukünftige Generationen angesprochen ist, zielt die vorliegende Untersuchung auf eine Synthese von Geschichtsphilosophie und Zukunftsethik. Für die Ethik der Zukunft folgt daraus, dass sie bestimmte Einsichten in die narrative Struktur und orientierende Funktion historischen Bewusstseins in ihre eigene Grundlegung integriert. Für die Philosophie der Geschichte hat dies zur Konsequenz, dass sie sich mit der Zukunftsperspektive an der theoretischen Lösung ökonomischer, sozialer und ökologischer Probleme beteiligt. Dazu gehören Themen wie die je nach Handlungsfeldern unterschiedlichen Reichweiten der Langzeitverantwortung, die Pflicht zur Kompensation historischer Schuld, das Recht armer Länder auf nachholende Entwicklung, der kulturelle Maßstab intergenerationeller Gerechtigkeit und das ergänzende Modell eines generösen kollektiven Erbes. Das Ziel besteht in einer Geschichtsphilosophie der Zukunft in praktischer Absicht. (shrink)

Im vorliegenden Buch werden historische und systematische Aspekte des besonderen Verhältnisses von Aufklärung und Geschichte verbunden. In der historischen Epoche der Aufklärung ist die Philosophie der Geschichte entstanden, die damit zugleich ein Thema aufgeklärten Denkens wurde. Dieses Programm einer Aufklärung über die Geschichte oder historischen Aufklärung ist bis heute aktuell geblieben. Im Anschluss an den neuen Dialog zwischen Aufklärungsforschung und postmoderner Kritik wird eine an zeitlichen, räumlichen und kulturellen Differenzen orientierte Lesart der Geschichtsphilosophie vorgestellt. Daran knüpft die Behandlung gegenwärtiger Problemfelder (...) wie Teleologie und Evolutionstheorie, Universalgeschichte und Globalisierung, Zukunftserwartung und Ethik der Zukunft an. Beabsichtigt ist eine kritische Geschichtsphilosophie in praktischer Perspektive. (shrink)

Resumen La historia ocupa un papel marginal en las teorías actuales de la globalización. Esto no deja de sorprender, pues “globalización” es, en esencia, un concepto que describe un proceso de la historia. Menos aún se habla de la filosofía de la historia, sobre todo porque ha caído en descrédito. Sin embargo, casi todas las argumentaciones emplean modelos de interpretación propios de la filosofía de la historia. Se conjetura qué tendencias generales le son inherentes a la globalización y si apuntan (...) a un “progreso” o a una “decadencia” de la civilización humana. Por último, el problema ético de la justicia global debe tomar en consideración el desarrollo de la historia acontecida. Estos temas dejan claro que el recurso a la historia con implicaciones filosóficas es imprescindible para resolver los problemas de la globalización.Contemporary theories of globalisation seldom mention history. This is surprising, because “globalisation” is essentially a term describing an historical process. There is still less mention of the philosophy of history, especially due to the discredit cast upon it. And yet nearly all of the relevant arguments operate with patterns of interpretation borrowed from the philosophy of history. The authors speculate on which general tendencies are inherent to globalisation and whether they are more indicative of the “progress” or of the “downfall” of human civilisation. Finally, the ethical problem of global justice requires us to take into account the course of history thus far. These topics underline that resorting to history with all of its philosophical implications is essential if we are to resolve the problems caused by globalisation. (shrink)

La concepción de la historia de Marx ha sido siempre objeto de intensas discusiones, lo cual está estrechamente relacionado con la recepción del materialismo histórico, elevado a la categoría de dogma. En este trabajo se intenta, por el contrario, reconstruir de forma sistemática las reflexiones de Marx sobre la historia. Por un lado, continua escribiendo la filosofía de la historia de la Ilustración hasta Hegel conforme a los preceptos de la historia universal, radicalizando incluso la perspectiva histórica, en tanto que (...) considera a la naturaleza y al hombre sucesos históricos. Por otro, Marx critica la fe en el progreso de la Ilustración cuestionando el paralelismo defendido entre progreso técnico y económico y progreso político y moral. Del mismo modo, Marx también critica la filosofía idealista de Hegel y libera la filosofía de la historia de supuestos metafísicos. (shrink)

Mit den Menschen der Aufklärung verbindet uns die gemeinsame Erfahrung tiefgreifender technischer, sozialer und kultureller Umbrüche. Schon damals stellten sich viele drängende Fragen unserer Zeit: zum Wahrheitsanspruch in Wissenschaft und Politik, zum Verhältnis der Geschlechter, zur sozialen und globalen Gerechtigkeit, zum nachhaltigen Wirtschaften, zum Frieden in Europa und der Welt oder zum Umgang mit Naturkatastrophen. Dieses Buch aktualisiert die Erkenntnisse der Aufklärung und hilft uns, mit ihnen die Krisen der Gegenwart neu zu verstehen.

Este artículo propone una renovación de la filosofía de la historia que tenga en cuenta los resultados del giro hacia la teoría de la cultura y hacia el concepto de espacio. Esta filosofía de la historia es material porque no se limita a la metodología y es crítica porque intenta proporcionar una orientación ética para la vida, una reflexión sobre las posibilidades reales de actuar.

This volume includes a step-by-step textual commentary on Jean-Jacques Rousseau s first and second critical discourses on civilization. Rousseau s thesis is that man has become progressively alienated from his own nature and thus perverted by technological and scientific progress. The example of Rousseau shows that critical reflection on modern civilization had already begun during the Enlightenment.".
