Der dritte Band der Reihe „Deutsch-Georgische Jahrbücher“ versammelt verschiedene Beiträge zum Spannungsfeld von Demokratie und Pluralismus. Während ein grundlegender Pluralismus bezüglich unterschiedlicher Wert- und Normauffassungen zu den fundamentalen Prinzipien der liberalen Demokratie zählt, stellen sich gleichzeitig im konkreten Umgang mit Pluralität besondere Herausforderungen. Welche normativen Festlegungen innerhalb politischer Institutionen sind in der Organisation gesellschaftlichen Zusammenlebens zulässig? Was sind die äußeren Grenzen des pluralen Spektrums von akzeptablen Lebensformen? Der Band überschaut verschiedene konkrete Problemfelder in dieser Debatte: etwa zu den epistemischen Grundlagen politischer Deliberation, zu Dissens und Polarisierung, zu Rationalität, Glauben und Versöhnung, zur queeren Theorie, sowie zu medizinethischen Fragen von Bioenhancement und Autismus.

A Mirror for Princes from the Late 12th Century CE
Editor / Translator:
Oliver Kahl’s book offers a revised Arabic edition and annotated English translation of a politico-ethical treatise or ‘mirror for princes’ from late 12th century CE Cairo. The Arabic text, a masterpiece of classical rhymed prose, interspersed with wisdom sayings and poetry, was written, presumably by ʿAlī ibn Ẓāfir al-Azdī (d. 613/1216), for the Ayyubid ruler of Egypt, al-Malik al-ʿAzīz (d. 595/1198), Saladin’s second son. Being primarily an exponent of adab literature, the treatise is largely free of theoretical expositions, transmitting its message in the form of diverse and highly entertaining parabolic stories. Edition and translation are framed by a detailed introduction and extensive bilingual glossaries which testify to the lexical registry of classical Arabic prose.

Mind over Matter is an interdisciplinary collection of essays exploring how spirituality changes lives in a variety of ways. Unlike much philosophically rooted literature on spirituality, it encourages an understanding of what can be achieved through faith, belief, and self-confidence, without reliance on specific (or, necessarily, any) religious doctrines or views. From theistic, non-theistic, or atheistic perspectives each chapter addresses a distinctive phenomenon, for example, spirituality and healing, spirituality and art, spirituality and running, and spirituality as a response to disaster. Not only do they integrate the results of scientific research and other intellectual investigations to illuminate accomplishments, and sometimes possible sources of failure, but they are also written by academics with practical experience in relevant areas, or at least informed by ideas of practitioners.

A Critical Theory of Global Society and Politics
Author:
Based on a critique of liberal and libertarian contradictions with their conflictual consequences and on analyses of critical social theories and perspectives from the Global South (Latin America, Africa, and Asia), this book seeks to address tensions of global social misrecognition and injustice. It deals with the dispute over particular and universal norms on local, regional, and global levels, extra-territorial social recognition of the global poor, strategic socialism, threats of global hegemony, authoritarianism, and war in light of various conflicts.
