Geschichte und Sittlichkeit in den postkolonialen Ländern | ||
in Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie , 56. Jahrgang, Heft 2, 2008 , 2008 , 261-275 | ||
The essay analyzes the historical development of former colonial states after the withdrawal of the colonial powers. The central term is Hegel's concept of ‘Sittlichkeit’. Based on this concept, the author develops a model of the historical process that is characterized by the conflict between the demands of particular communities and those of the nation state. The author puts the model to the test by applying it to specific developments, for example in South America. | ||
