Critique of Forms of Life

Informationen zum Autor Rahel Jaeggi is Professor of Social and Political Philosophy and Director of the Center for Humanities and Social Change at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Klappentext For liberals, the question ¿Do others live rightly?¿ seems to demand a follow-up question: ¿Who am I to judge?¿ Peaceful coexistence, in this view, is predicated on restraint from morally evaluating our peers. But Rahel Jaeggi argues that criticizing is not only valid but also useful. Moral judgment is no error¿the error lies in how we go about it.
