'Sensus communis' in Multi- and Intercultural Perspective

On the Possibility of Common Judgments in Arts and Politics. Edited by Heinz Kimmerle and Henk Oosterling.

Elf Beiträge, alle in englischer Sprache. Die Beiträge gehen zurück auf eine internationale Konferenz 1997 in Rotterdam. Sketching a broad inter- and multicultural panorama, eleven contributions investigate the possibility of common judgements in the fields of arts and politics, and also in those of history, religions and worldviews. If no longer interpreted in the sense of transcendentalism, Kant's presupposition of a 'sensus communis' for the validity of aesthetic judgements and - in a pragmatic view - its relevance for ethical and political life gives rise to reflections on what is common or even universal and what is particular in the forenamed fields. - Aus dem Inhalt/Contents: Heinz Kimmerle: Introduction. - Antoon Van den Braembussche: Sensus communis.
