Truth as Freedom. James Mensch on the Relation of Movement and Human Rights in Patočka's Phenomenology
2017
Abstrakt
James Mensch analyses the extent to which Patočka follows European philosophical traditions, above all Aristotle, and interprets central concepts like movement, existence, essence, body and soul in a new way. The article explains Mensch's interpretation of Patočka and shows in which way it lays the ground for further questions around the relationship of care and right within an intercultural context, in particular in regard to basic characteristics of law practices in the life-world of Australian Aborigines.
