Comments

We live in times of severe global injustices. This commonplace seems to imply that the globally oppressed have a right (and maybe even a duty) to disobey and resist exploitative and dominating power structures. Thus, whistleblowers, cosmopolitan activists, and even international terrorists have justified their acts within the philosophical traditions of civil disobedience and the right to resistance. But under what conditions (if ever) do these theories justify violence and disobedience of the law? And how do their state-based rationale fits phenomena of global injustices? In this course we will first have a view into classic texts on disobedience and the right to resistance (Plato, Kant, Locke). We will then discuss recent theories of civil disobedience (Rawls, Dworkin, Habermas), before we problematize their applicability to current forms of non-compliance with the global order. For the most part, the course will be held in English. All participants are expected to join a working group. A textbook will be provided at the beginning of the course. close
