Zur Kritik des liberalen Skripts : Innere Spannungen, gebrochene Versprechen und die Notwendigkeit der Selbsttransformation

Abstract

Around the globe, the very ideas and institutions are under attack whose historic victory was celebrated with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Contestations or challenges are nothing new for liberalism. On the contrary: they are the essence of liberal politics. However, the current disputes have taken on a special quality. Today, they are particularly diverse and polyphonic. And they can largely be traced back to endogenous causes. The contributions in this volume shed light on the internal tensions and broken promises in their spatial unfolding, in relation to individual problems and around the question of inclusion. The book concludes with the thesis that only a self-transformation will free the liberal script from its predicament. It is aimed at a broad interdisciplinary audience from the humanities and social sciences and provides an overview of current research on the critique of the liberal script.
