He wants to demonstrate that each thing may be and may become private property, i. e. that it is allowed to exclude all others of their use – and the criterion for this being the moral respectively legal law. A detailed analysis of Kant’s “deduction” will show that it fails: The possession or appropriation of each object of the free will as private property is (according to Kantian terms) unreasonable and unlawful, because it contradicts the categorical imperative respectively the rational law. The Kantian right of ownership is not the expression of reasonable social relations, but justifies classstructures. Consequently, there is no duty (in Kant’s sense) to respect civil societies based on private ownership.","PeriodicalId":250691,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für kritische Sozialtheorie und Philosophie","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116814057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scheit","doi":"10.1515/zksp-2015-0006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/zksp-2015-0006","url":null,"abstract":"The first part of the article deals with Daniel Loick’s critique of sovereignty. Loick claims to abolish the remainder of this principle (i.e. Habermas, Kelsen) and tries to positively adopt the Kantian objection to anarchy as “law and freedom without power”: beyond state authority, law without pressure would fulfil itself as an agreement, serving to align collective actions and social cooperation. Loick takes law for ‘morality’, originating not from the individual but the collective. He thereby refers to intellectual traditions of Judaism (Cohen, Rosenzweig), but remains wholly oblivious to the anti-Semitism of the society in which Jews live. This abstraction takes its toll when he attempts to universalize the question of law in Judaism – and thus offers a complementary image to the theory of sovereignty conceptualized by Chantal Mouffe. In her uncritical adaptation of Carl Schmitt and Martin Heidegger Mouffe pursues an ontologization of the political. Her new manifesto for left-wing theory seeks to refute the cosmopolitan illusions of modern Western politics. Mouffe, too, glorifies “collective identities”, but she extends the “friend/enemy” or the “we/they” distinction to a crucial point. Adopting the geopolitical consequences of Schmitt’s “Großraumtheorie” from the early 1940s, her ontologization leads to a critique of liberalism altogether, particularly of the hegemony of the United States. Neither Mouffe nor Loick are interested in a critical concept of law (Eugen Paschukanis, Franz Neumann). Although both Mouffe and Loick refer to Marx, they fail to understand that law does not only express a particular class interest but a false universality, according to Marx’s concept of the value-form.","PeriodicalId":250691,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für kritische Sozialtheorie und Philosophie","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121823309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hinsichtlich Foucaults ubiquitarer Machtkonzeption lautet die These, dass diese kompatibel ist mit Begriffen von Verursachung oder Macht, die auf Fahigkeiten von Objekten referieren, denn verstreute Macht setzt Kausali- tat und causal powers voraus. Im zweiten Teil des Artikels wird die Auffassung vertreten, dass den normativen Implikationen von Macht nicht aus dem Weg gegangen werden sollte und dass Bewertungen von Macht in Hinblick auf menschliches Wohlergehen und Leid zu den Adaquatheitsbedingungen sozial- wissenschaftlicher Beschreibungen und Erklarungen gehoren.
