Hardback. Zustand: New. In this ambitious book, philosopher Otfried Höffe provides a sophisticated account of the principle of freedom and its role in the project of modernity. Höffe addresses a set of complex questions concerning the possibility of political justice and equity in the modern world, the destruction of nature, the dissolving of social cohesion, and the deregulation of uncontrollable markets. Through these considerations, he shows how the idea of freedom is central to modernity, and he assesses freedom's influence in a number of cultural dimensions, including the natural, economic and social, artistic and scientific, political, ethical, and personal-metaphysical. Neither rejecting nor defending freedom and modernity, he instead explores both from a Kantian point of view, looking closely at the facets of freedom's role and the fundamental position it has taken at the heart of modern life. Expanding beyond traditional philosophy, Critique of Freedom develops the building blocks of a critical theory of technology, environmental protection, economics, politics, medicine, and education. With a sophisticated yet straightforward style, Höffe draws on a range of disciplines in order to clearly distinguish and appreciate the many meanings of freedom and the indispensable role they play in liberal society. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In this ambitious book, which he considers the most important of his career, Otfried Hèoffe provides a sophisticated defense of the principle of freedom and the project of modernity. The role of the idea of freedom as central to modernity is assessed in a number of dimensions: natural, economic-social, artistic and scientific, political, and personal-metaphysical. The Kantian notion of autonomy--central to both freedom and modernity--is discussed in terms of art, ethics, education, rights to privacy, free enterprise, constitutional issues, and more, describing in detail the fundamental role of freedom at the heart of modern life. Written in a sophisticated but straightforward style, Hèoffe draws not just on philosophy, but also economics, law, and literature, in order to clearly distinguish and appreciate the many meanings of freedom, and the indispensable role they play in liberal society. This is a bold, ambitious book that will appeal to anyone interested in the philosophical foundations of democratic life'.…
