In Germany, Otfried Hoffe has been a leading contributor to debates in moral, legal, political, and social philosophy for close to three decades. Hoffe's work (like that of his contemporary, Jurgen Habermas), brings into relief the relevance of these German discussions to their counterparts in English-language circles.
In this book, originally published in Germany in 1990 and expanded since, Hoffe proposes an extended and original interpretation of Kant' philosophy of law, and social morality. Hoffe articulates his reading of Kant in the context of an account of modernity as a...

In this book, Hoffe gives a clear, understandable description of Kant's philosophical development and influence, and he sets forth Kant's main ideas from the Critique of Pure Reason and the ethics to the philosophy of law, history, religion, and art. In his critical treatment, Hoffe shows why Kant's philosophy continues to be relevant and challenging to us today.

Aristotle belongs to the small class of philosophers who were not only influential in a particular field of philosophy but also shaped the profile of every philosophical discipline. In this book Otfried Hoffe provides a comprehensive introduction to the life and work of Aristotle, covering well-known Aristotelian topics such as ethics, politics, and metaphysics as well as the less familiar, such as biology, psychology, and rhetoric. Hoffe also compares Aristotle to other major figures in the history of European (especially German) philosophy, making connections to Kant and Hegel that are...

In "Democracy in an Age of Globalisation," Otfried Hoffe develops a comprehensive analysis of the demands, which the process of globalization exerts on the political organisations of humanity.
The author starts from a diagnosis of the process of globalisation and frees its concept from its economistic narrowing: Globalisation is a comprehensive process which puts new strains on the economies and political systems of the world, the cultural and social structures of peoples. The scope of its challenges demands solutions, which transcend the powers of the classical nation-state. The...

Otfried Hoffe is one of the foremost political philosophers in Europe today. In this major work, already a classic in continental Europe, he re-examines philosophical discourse on justice - from Classical Greece to the present day.
Hoffe confronts what he sees as the two major challenges to any theory of justice: the legal, positivist claim that there are no standards of justice external to legal systems; and the anarchist claim that justice demands the rejection and abolition of all legal and state systems.
Hoffe sets out to continue the 'philosophical project of...

Der wissenschaftliche Charakter der philosophischen Ethik und politischen Philosophie und die ihnen entsprechende methodische Erkenntnis sind trotz der jüngsten weltweiten Rehabilitierung der praktischen Philosophie noch immer umstritten. In dieser Situation empfiehlt es sich, die in der zeitgenössischen Diskussion vorherrschenden Grundmodelle kritisch zu untersuchen sowie an ausgewählten Problemen die normativ-kritische Kompetenz der praktischen Philosophie unter Beweis zu stellen. Der vorliegende Band stellt sich dieser doppelten Aufgabe: Zum einen wird die durch mannigfaltige...
