Public Reason and Political Autonomy
This book advances a novel justification for the idea of "public reason": citizens within diverse societies can realize the ideal of shared political autonomy, despite their adherence to different religious and philosophical views, by deciding fundamental political questions with "public reasons." Public reasons draw upon or are derived from ecumenical political ideas, such as toleration and equal citizenship, and mutually acceptable forms of reasoning, like those of the sciences. This book explains that if citizens share equal political autonomy—and thereby constitute "a civic people"—they will not suffer from alienation or domination and can enjoy relations of civic friendship.

The Inherence of Human Dignity
Focused at the theoretical level, this volume seeks to clarify our understanding of various historical and contemporary concepts of human dignity. It examines the various meanings of the term ‘dignity’ before looking at the philosophical sources of dignity and both religious and secular attempts to provide a grounding for the notion. It also compares the merits and defects of older and newer concepts of dignity, including extensions of dignity to groups, animals, and machines.
Ideology and Private Law: Polish Experiences in the Long 20th Century
This book highlights the ideological aspects influencing the modern shape of private law in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), examining Poland as a representative example given the shared historical trajectory of the 20th century across this region. In the historico-legal literature currently in international circulation, there is a dearth of studies on the development of modern positive law in CEE countries. This volume therefore aims to bridge this gap and deliver a more profound reflection on the long-term social, economic, and political role of private law in this region.
Dignity in America
How dignity transforms, and resolves, some of the country's most pressing social problems. Dignity represents the inherent and equal worth of each one of us. It is how we think about the value of our lives. It is how we think about justice, and about the injustices that cause people to struggle and suffer. In Dignity in America, Erin Daly explores how we can resolve the social conflicts that divide us as a nation by transforming them under the lens of human dignity. It may apply differently in different cultural settings, but the core meaning of dignity is both intuitive and universal. It stands for a set of interlocking ideas that focus on each person's need to freely develop their full per...

Erinnerungskultur im deutsch-polnischen Kontaktbereich
Der Nordosten der preußischen Provinz Posen erlebte in den Jahren zwischen 1871 und 1939 in vielfacher Hinsicht einen Wandel. Das Gebiet um die Städte Bromberg (poln. Bydgoszcz) und Inowrazlaw (ab 1904 Hohensalza, poln. Inowroclaw) erhielt im Zeitalter von Industrialisierung und Modernisierung ein neues Antlitz. Gleichzeitig wandelte sich die nationale Struktur der Bevölkerung. Der staatliche Übergang des Gebiets von Deutschland an Polen 1918/1920 machte aus den bis dahin dominierenden Deutschen eine nationale Minderheit, während die Polen zur Staatsnation wurden. -- Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht und beschreibt der Band, wie im Zuge der nationalen Bewusstseinswerdung am Ende des 19....
