Eine Einführung in die zentralen Lehren des Konfuzianismus und deren Bedeutung für die chinesische Gesellschaft – gestern und heute
Der Konfuzianismus hat China über 2000 Jahre lang geprägt und gewinnt gerade in den letzten Jahren wieder zunehmend an Bedeutung. Seinen Kern bildet die Vorstellung, dass das ganze Universum einer unwandelbaren Ordnung unterliegt, in der alles seinen festen Platz hat. Voraussetzung für soziale Harmonie und Stabilität battle daher, dass jeder Einzelne seine ihm zukommende Rolle innerhalb einer hierarchisch gegliederten Gesellschaft erfüllte und die moralischen Verhaltensregeln befolgte, die sich daraus ableiteten.

Der Gedanke der Anerkennung als Norm zwischenmenschlichen Verhaltens und Kriterium der Beurteilung von sozialen Lebensformen und Institutionen hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten weltweit eine bedeutende philosophische Karriere gehabt.

Das Buch verfolgt die Entstehung von Hegels Philosophie des objektiven Geistes in der Jenaer Zeit, in der 'Anerkennung' das organisierende Systemprinzip ist. Dabei werden zeitgenössische Theorien der Intersubjektivität (Sartre, Lacan) oder der gelungenen Sozialisation (Habermas, Dreitzel) als Maßstab sozialer Institutionen auf ihre Nähe zu Hegel hin untersucht. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf Hegels Methode, zum Verständnis und zur Kritik einer existierenden Gesellschaftsordnung auf die historische Genese von Normen und Institutionen zurückzugreifen. Ein solches genetisch-kritisches Verfahren scheint auch heute einem apriorisch-deduktiven überlegen (so auch M. Walzer oder R. Geuss). Hegel vermag das power seiner Theorie aber, wie auch anhand der Berliner Rechtsphilosophie gezeigt wird, aufgrund bestimmter metaphysischer Prämissen nur unvollkommen auszuschöpfen.
