Normativity Beyond Borders
Symposium of the Rottendorf-Project Global Solidarity, 16thand 17thMay 2019
Hochschule für Philosophie, Aula
Globalisation continues to be a challenge for philosophy, too. It is yet to be seen whether and if so, how humanity will be able to recognise, investigate, negotiate and solve problems that arise from this unprecedented political, economic and cultural situation. While philosophers have made a number of suggestions, applying traditional normative theories to the global condition, the underlying concepts of normativity invite reflection. Are they enough to understand how norms and values evolve at the global level? Might we need new normative concepts? And how does normative change work? This symposium invites philosophers, political scientists, and sociologists to reflect on these issues.
