Abstract

John Horton's work has been particularly influential in debates on specific topics related to toleration, political obligation, modus vivendi and political realism. More recently, he has synthesised these views in the form of a distinctive position in political philosophy, a position that has the potential to question much of the received wisdom in the field. The papers of this special issue engage with some of the most fundamental issues of Horton's account, more exactly, the related issues of toleration and modus vivendi, Horton's account of associative obligations, with a focus on the methodological assumptions which underpin his position more generally, and the metaphysical presuppositions of his account, in particular, the presupposition of contingency. I offer brief presentations of the papers in the special issue and of the ways they link with each other. In the discussion of the papers by Forst, Newey, Jones, Weale and Mendus, the emphasis will be on those arguments which question Horton's position. Horton's paper will then be presented with a focus on possible responses to these challenges. I will conclude with several remarks on an unexpected continuity between Horton's realist view and a view realists usually criticise as idealising, namely, John Rawls's theory of justice as fairness.

宽容与实用主义:约翰·霍顿作品的主题。
约翰·霍顿的著作在与宽容、政治义务、权宜之计和政治现实主义有关的特定主题的辩论中尤其有影响力。最近,他以一种独特的政治哲学立场的形式综合了这些观点,这种立场有可能对该领域的许多公认智慧提出质疑。本期特刊的论文涉及了霍顿论述中一些最基本的问题,更确切地说,是与宽容和暂时方式相关的问题,霍顿对联想义务的论述,重点关注支撑他的立场的方法论假设,以及他的论述的形而上学前提,特别是偶然性的前提。我将简要介绍特刊上的论文以及它们相互联系的方式。在对福斯特、纽维、琼斯、威尔和门杜斯的论文的讨论中,重点将放在那些质疑霍顿立场的论点上。然后,霍顿的论文将重点介绍应对这些挑战的可能方法。最后,我将对霍顿的现实主义观点和现实主义者通常批评为理想化的观点,即约翰·罗尔斯的正义作为公平的理论之间意想不到的连续性进行评论。
