Böcker av Rainer Forst

This volume introduces Rainer Forst's critical theory of toleration, offering a development of his major work Toleration in Conflict with critical engagement from a range of outstanding interlocutors, including Chandran Kukathas, Melissa S. Williams and Patchen Markell. -- .

This text offers an intervention into the debate between communitarianism and liberalism. It argues for a theory of "contexts of justice" that leads beyond the confines of the debate as it has been understood and posits the possibility of a new conception of social and political justice.

Rainer Forst develops a critical theory capable of deciphering the deficits and potentials inherent in contemporary political reality. This calls for a perspective which is immanent to social and political practices and at the same time transcends them.
