Isaiah Berlin is well known as a defender of liberal democracy in the Cold War. In this path-breaking study, George Crowder argues that Berlin's ideas have application beyond their original context to the problems of our own time.Focusing on three central themes - liberty, identity, and value pluralism - Crowder presents a fresh interpretation of Berlin, exposing the misunderstandings of critics, especially those who ignore Berlin's pluralist foundation. Although genuine problems remain, these can be alleviated by revising and extending Berlin's view to construct an updated liberal pluralism. Together with Berlin's own arguments, liberal pluralism is then brought to bear on a range of current concerns, including neoliberalism, identity politics, populism, international relations, religion, feminism, climate change, and global pandemics. The resulting outlook is complex, realistic, humane, and positive.Isaiah Berlin in the Twenty-First Century represents a new departure in the study of Berlin, value pluralism, and liberal thought more generally. It is essential reading for researchers and advanced students in these fields, but its wide range will appeal to anyone interested in the values and politics of our troubled times.

Band 10 der HKW umfasst drei Beitraege aus dem Jahr 1923 und einen erst juengst entdeckten Nachruf Kelsens auf seinen Lehrer Edmund Bernatzik aus dem Jahr 1919. Unter den drei 1923er-Schriften finden sich zwei Monografien, die - neben der Konsolidierung der Reinen Rechtslehre - Kelsens wissenschaftliche Hauptinteressen jener Jahre widerspiegeln: Mit der Zweitauflage von "Sozialismus und Staat" setzt Kelsen die Reihe von Publikationen gegen die seinerzeit wirkmaechtigen Stroemungen des (Austro-)Marxismus und Leninismus fort; die - von Carlos Miguel Herrera, Paris, eingeleitete - Monografie darf als die profundeste zeitgenoessische Kritik gelten. Und mit dem "Osterreichischen Staatsrecht" - mit einer Einleitung von Clemens Jabloner, Wien - praesentiert Kelsen die erste wissenschaftliche Gesamtdarstellung des Verfassungsrechts der Ersten Republik und festigt damit neben seiner Rolle als Verfassungsarchitekt seine Stellung als bedeutendster Chronist und Mittler des neuen Verfassungsrechts.

Immanuel Kant influenced a large and productive group of political philosophers in the 1790s. This volume argues that they brought out more fully the egalitarian principles of Kantian republicanism."The Kantian school" featured young philosophers including Saul Ascher, Johann Adam Bergk, Johann Benjamin Erhard, Johann Ludwig Ewald, the early Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Friedrich Schlegel, and Johann Heinrich Tieftrunk. They combined their commitment to Kant with a dedication to freedom, equality, popular sovereignty, and a people's right to revolution. Furthermore, they sought to bring their notion of Kantian republicanism to bear on the political agenda in 1790s Germany. The chapters in this volume analyze their work in relation to Kant and their wider philosophical and political context. They advance three main theses. First, the Kantians defended popular sovereignty and several of them supported the extension of the right to vote to workers and women. Second, several of them developed a political perfectionism, the view that equal political rights are justified for their effects on cultivating moral character. Third, they developed sophisticated theories of state legitimacy and collective action, defending a people's right to change their constitution, either through reform or revolution.Kant's Early Followers in Political Philosophy offers a systematic view into a neglected group of thinkers at a foundational moment for modern political thought. It will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working on Kant, eighteenth century philosophy, political philosophy, and the history of early modern German political thought.
