Böcker av Seyla Benhabib

Maintaining that cultures are themselves torn by conflicts about their own boundaries, this book challenges the assumption shared by many theorists and activists that cultures are clearly defined wholes. It offers insight to those who strive to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of cultural politics in the twenty-first century.

The Reluctant Modernism of Hannah Arendt rereads Arendt's political philosophy in light of newly gained insights into the historico-cultural background of her work.

This volume presents a debate between four of the top feminist theorists in the US, discussing the key questions facing contemporary feminist theory, responding to each other, and distinguishing their views from others.

Focusing on contemporary debates in moral and political theory, 'Situating the Self' argues that a non-relative ethics, binding on us in virtue of our humanity, is still a philosophically viable project.

Benhabib argues that since the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, we have entered a phase of global civil society which is governed by cosmopolitan norms of universal justice - norms which are difficult for some to accept as legitimate since they are in conflict with democratic ideals.
