Project description
A neo-Hegelian perspective in political philosophy
Contemporary political philosophy must address the challenge of independent social sectors like the economy, media, and science operating beyond national borders, evading state regulation, and redefining the relationship between civil society and the state. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SOCIAL project will develop a new approach by examining the increasing independence of economic, social, and cultural institutions and their incorporation into politics. It will introduce conceptual frameworks based on Hegelian institutional theory, focusing on the ideas of the Hegelian philosopher A. Kojève and emphasising the similarities between this neo-Hegelian model and contemporary considerations of societal constitutionalism. It will innovatively integrate a neo-Hegelian perspective in political philosophy with different traditions.
Objective
Contemporary political philosophy must address the rise of autonomous social sectors (economy, media, science) that escape state regulation by expanding beyond national borders and that challenge traditional forms of politics. The problem at stake is the relationship between civil society and state which Hegel first outlined from the perspective of the nation-state and which has since been radically reconfigured.
SOCIAL aims to develop a new approach to this issue by investigating today’s autonomisation of economic, social and cultural institutions and their integration at the political level. The purpose is to contribute to the debate on the specificity of a transnational subject by introducing conceptual tools in the wake of Hegelian institutional theory.
The research will focus on the Hegelian philosopher A. Kojève who explored the possibility of a civil society beyond the state and the relationship between the social and the political on a post-national scale. SOCIAL will highlight the common ground between this neo-Hegelian model and contemporary reflections on societal constitutionalism – in particular the work of the jurist G. Teubner – to outline a new transnational societal constitutionalism in a global perspective. The research will draw on the evolution of functional systems and on institutional pluralism, aspects that current majoritarian approaches such as Kantian cosmopolitanism or Rawlsian theory of international justice do not sufficiently take into account.
SOCIAL aims to provide a unified perspective and a new way of conceiving philosophical research in current dialogue with extra-philosophical fields and contemporary debates. Its originality lies in the integration of a neo-Hegelian perspective in political philosophy with different traditions like the theory of social systems and legal pluralism, which are crucial for understanding the structure of society in a world articulated by the coexistence of many parallel legal orders beyond the state.
