        Freiheit und Pflicht

        Thomas Hobbes' politische Theorie. Frankfurter Adorno-Vorlesungen 2005.

        by Quentin Skinner, Karin Wördemann

        Quentin Skinner ist einer der weltweit bedeutendsten Historiker der politischen Theorie und Ideengeschichte, der es wie kaum ein anderer versteht, systematische Einsicht mit historischer Genauigkeit zu verbinden. Davon zeugen auch seine Frankfurter Adorno-Vorlesungen aus dem Jahr 2005, die nun als Buch vorliegen. Gedanklich geschlossen und rhetorisch brillant, erläutert Skinner darin Hobbes`Lehre von der Freiheit nicht nur als Angelpunkt einer philosophischen Theorie von klassischem Rang, sondern auch und vor allem als polemische Intervention in die politischen Debatten seiner Zeit. Mit leichter Hand zeichnet er die Entwicklungen und Brüche dieser Lehre nach, korrigiert einige etablierte Überzeugungen der Hobbes-Forschung und läßt die politischen Motive hinter den philosophischen Argumenten hervortreten. Hobbes` Lehre erscheint so als kraftvoller Beitrag zu den politischen Auseinandersetzungen des siebzehnten Jahrhunderts und zu den aktuellen Debatten um Staat, Politik und Freiheit.

        Reformed identity and conformity in England, 1559–1714

        by Jake Griesel, Esther Counsell

        This volume is the first collection of essays to focus specifically on how Reformed theology and ecclesiology related to one of the most consequential issues between the Elizabethan Settlement (1559) and the Hanoverian Succession (1714), namely conformity to the Church of England. This volume enriches scholarly understandings of how Reformed identity was understood in the Tudor and Stuart periods, and how it influenced both clerical and lay attitudes towards the English Church's government, liturgy and doctrine. In a reflection of how established religion pervaded all aspects of civic life in the early modern world and was sharply contested within both ecclesiastical and political spheres, this volume includes chapters that focus variously on the ecclesio-political, liturgical, and doctrinal aspects of conformity.

        Safe as Houses

        Grenfell, disaster housing, and the outsourced state

        by Stuart Hodkinson

        As the tragedy of the Grenfell tower fire has slowly revealed a shadowy background of outsourcing, private finance initiatives and a council turning a blind eye to health and safety concerns, many questions need answers. Stuart Hodkinson has those answers. He has worked for the last decade with residents groups in council regeneration projects across London. As residents have been shifted out of 60s and 70s social housing to make way for higher rent paying newcomers, they have been promised a higher quality of housing. Councils have passed the responsibility for this housing to private consortia who amazingly have been allowed to self-regulate on quality and safety. Residents have been ignored for years on this and only now are we hearing the truth. Stuart will weave together his research on PFIs, regulation and resident action to tell the whole story of how Grenfell happened and how this could easily have happened in multiple locations across the country.

        Visionen des Politischen

        by Quentin Skinner, Marion Heinz, Martin Rühl, Robin Celikates, Eva Engels

        Quentin Skinner ist einer der profiliertesten Historiker der Gegenwart und führender Kopf der »Cambridge School of Intellectual History«. Seine Neubegründung der Ideengeschichte auf der Grundlage der Sprachphilosophie Wittgensteins und der Sprechakttheorie Austins sowie seine daran geschulte Auseinandersetzung mit Klassikern des politischen Denkens sind international breit rezipiert worden und bilden eine höchst originelle Alternative zu der hierzulande vorherrschenden theorie- und begriffsgeschichtlich ausgerichteten Historiographie und politischen Philosophie. Der Band macht repräsentative Beiträge Skinners aus dessen dreibändiger Sammlung Visions of Politics, die das ganze Spektrum seines Forschungsansatzes abdecken, erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung zugänglich. Ein Nachwort der Herausgeber führt in das Denken Quentin Skinners ein.
