As they are combong>inong>ed here, Ben-David's essays reveal the richness ong>andong> synthetic power of his ong>inong>tellect ong>inong> a way his separate publications never did.

Re-Presenting the Good Society

Re-Presenting the Good Society

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cooke, Maeve, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Contemporary critical ong>socialong> theories face the question of how to justify the ideas of the good society that guide their critical analyses. Traditionally, these more or less determong>inong>ate ideas of the good society were held to be ong>inong>dependent of their specific sociocultural ong>contextong> ong>andong> ong>historicalong> epoch. Today, such a concept of ong>contextong>-transcendong>inong>g validity is not easy to defend; the "long>inong>guistic turn" of Western philosophy signals the widespread acceptance of the view that ideas of knowledge ong>andong> validity are always mediated long>inong>guistically ong>andong> that language is conditioned by history ong>andong> ong>contextong>. ong>Inong> "Re-Presentong>inong>g the Good Society," Maeve Cooke addresses the justificatory dilemma facong>inong>g critical ong>socialong> theories: how to maong>inong>taong>inong> an idea of ong>contextong>-transcendong>inong>g validity without violatong>inong>g anti-authoritarian impulses. ong>Inong> doong>inong>g so she not only clarifies the issues ong>andong> positions taken by other theorists--ong>inong>cludong>inong>g Richard Rorty, Jurgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, ong>andong> Judith Butler--but also offers her own origong>inong>al ong>andong> thought-provokong>inong>g analysis of ong>contextong>-transcendong>inong>g validity. Because the tension between an anti-authoritarian impulse ong>andong> a guidong>inong>g idea of ong>contextong>-transcendong>inong>g validity is today an ong>inong>tegral part of critical ong>socialong> theory, Cooke argues that it should be negotiated rather than elimong>inong>ated. Her proposal for a concept of ong>contextong>-transcendong>inong>g validity has as its central claim that we should conceive of the good society as "re-presented" ong>inong> particular constitutively ong>inong>adequate representations of it. These re-presentations are, Cooke argues provocatively, regulative ideas that have an imagong>inong>ary, fictive character.

By examong>inong>ong>inong>g Mill's arguments ong>inong> "On Liberty ong>inong> light of his other writong>inong>gs, however, Joseph Hamburger reveals a Mill very different from the "saong>inong>t of rationalism" so central to liberal thought.

Hamburger offers this powerful challenge to conventional scholarship by presentong>inong>g Mill's views on liberty ong>inong> the ong>contextong> of his ideas about, ong>inong> particular, religion ong>andong> ong>historicalong> development. The book draws on the whole range of Mill's philosophical writong>inong>gs ong>andong> on his correspondence with, among others, Harriet Taylor Mill, Auguste Comte, ong>andong> Alexong>andong>er Baong>inong> to show that Mill's underlyong>inong>g goal was to replace the traditional religious basis of society with a form of secular religion that would rest on moral authority, ong>inong>dividual restraong>inong>t, ong>andong> ong>socialong> control. Hamburger argues that Mill was not self-contradictory ong>inong> thus championong>inong>g both control ong>andong> liberty. Rather, liberty ong>andong> control worked together ong>inong> Mill's thought as part of a balanced, coherent program of ong>socialong> ong>andong> moral reform that was neither liberal nor authoritarian. Based on a lifetime's study of nong>inong>eteenth-century political thought, this clearly written ong>andong> forcefully argued book is a major reong>inong>terpretation of Mill's ideas ong>andong> ong>inong>tellectual legacy.
