Call for Publications Theme: Problems and Methods in Global Thinking Publication: Philosophy and Public Issues Date: Vol. 9, No. 3 (2019) Deadline: 30.7.2019 __________________________________________________ This Philosophy and Public Issues (PPI) special issue will include a symposium on Katrin Flikschuh’s What is Orientation in Global Thinking? A Kantian Inquiry (Cambridge University Press 2017), with contributions by Dorothea Gadeke, Uchenna Okeja, Abraham Olivier, and Arthur Ripstein. Editor: Corrado Fumagalli Aims and Background It has been long time since scholars started challenging the conceptual borders of normative political theory, but it is still rare to find philosophical reflections with a truly global sensitivity. Many methodological and normative disputes are still open, and, with, of course, some exceptions, the approach to “alternative” traditions and voices has often been that of cherry picking. However, central questions such as borders, identity, the scope of normative theorizing, the construction of truly global and inclusive institutions, domination, recognition and respect, could benefit greatly from a re-positioning of our philosophical standpoint. In her What is Orientation in Global Thinking? A Kantian Inquiry (CUP, 2017), Katrin Flikschuh offers an example of global reasoning in today’s political philosophy. We encourage therefore submission of original papers that explore the concepts and practises in global and comparative thinking. In this vein, contributions from political, legal and moral philosophy, political theory, history of ideas, history of political thought, and epistemology are welcome. We expect original contributions discussing: (but not limited to): - Present and future of cosmopolitan political thought - Issues in African political philosophy - Issues in Comparative political theory - The normative status of contemporary disputes about the conceptual borders of political philosophy - The late Kant (Doctrine of Right, Zum Ewigen Frieden, etc.) - Epistemological disputes in global thinking - West/East and South/North dichotomies - Universalism and false universalism - Relativism, contextualism and normativity in global justice - Colonialism: historical and critical perspectives - Civilization and ideologies of globalization: historical and critical perspective - Time and space in global political thinking - Recognition, respect and domination - Political and moral progress Submission Details Deadline for abstract submission: July, 30, 2019.
