  1. Cosmopolitanism.Robert Fine - 2007 - New York: Routledge.
    The idea of cosmopolitanism is increasingly in circulation both in the social sciences and in the language of everyday life. There is, however, much uncertainty about what it means, what it refers to and what role it plays in social scientific thinking. In this book Robert Fine explores the concept of cosmopolitanism, its contribution to critical thought, and its application to a number of pressing political issues: taming global marketisation, resisting the resurgence of nationalism and fundamentalism, constructing transnational forms of (...)

    Political Investigations: Hegel, Marx, Arendt.Robert Fine - 2001 - Psychology Press.
    In this highly innovative book Robert Fine compares three great studies of modern political life: Hegel's Elements of the Philosophy of Right, Marx's Capital and Hannah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism, and argues that they are all profoundly radical texts, which jointly contribute to our understanding of the modern world. Fine maintains that these works are far more revealing when read together than in opposition, and draws a direct parallel between Hegel's critique of social forms of right and Marx's critique of (...)

    Judgment and the reification of the faculties: A reconstructive reading of Arendt's Life of the Mind.Robert Fine - 2008 - Philosophy and Social Criticism 34 (1-2):157-176.
    The core argument in this paper is that, to reconstruct the last unwritten section on Judging in Hannah Arendt's Life of the Mind , it is necessary to address what Arendt was doing with the book as a whole and how the different parts relate internally to one another. This is no easy matter, especially as the existing sections on Thinking and Willing are quite different in tone from one another. My proposition is that the work should be read as (...)

    Ethical Considerations in Supporting Donation after Circulatory Death: The Role of the Dead-Donor Rule.Robert Fine & Giuliano Testa - 2022 - Journal of Clinical Ethics 33 (3):220-224.
    There is a conflict between the wishes of terminally ill patients to allow withdrawal of treatment and become donors after cardiac death (DCD) and the limit on interventions required by the dead-donor rule (DDR). Once a breathing tube is removed, hours can pass before the patient expires. This interim time complies with the DDR, but often makes donation impossible. The consequences are the nullification of donors’ wishes and the waste of organs for transplantation. Since the DDR was developed, attitudes on (...)

  5. Kant’s theory of cosmopolitanism and hegel’s critique.Robert Fine - 2003 - Philosophy and Social Criticism 29 (6):609-630.
    s theory of cosmopolitan right is widely viewed as the philosophical origin of modern cosmopolitan thought. Hegel’s critique of Kant’s theory of cosmopolitan right, by contrast, is usually viewed as regressive and nationalistic in relation to both Kant and the cosmopolitan tradition. This paper reassesses the political and philosophical character of Hegel’s critique of Kant, Hegel’s own relation to cosmopolitan thinking, and more fleetingly some of the implications of his critique for contemporary social criticism. It is argued that Hegel’s critique (...)

    (1 other version)Jurgen Habermas's Theory of Cosmopolitanism.Robert Fine & Will Smith - 2003 - Constellations 10 (4):469-487.
    In this paper we explore the sustained and multifaceted attempt of Jürgen Habermas to reconstruct Kant's theory of cosmopolitan right for our own times. In a series of articles written in the post‐1989 period, Habermas has argued that the challenge posed both by the catastrophes of the twentieth century, and by social forces of globalization, has given new impetus to the idea of cosmopolitan justice that Kant first expressed. He recognizes that today we cannot simply repeat Kant's eighteenth‐century vision: that (...)

    Taking the '''Ism''' Out of Cosmopolitanism An Essay in Reconstruction.Robert Fine - 2003 - European Journal of Social Theory 6 (4):451--470.
    This article addresses the character and potential of the radical cosmopolitanism that is currently flourishing within the social sciences. I explore how cosmopolitanism is articulated in a number of disciplines–including international law, international relations, sociology and political philosophy–and how it conceives of its own age. I focus first of all on the timeconsciousness that informs the cosmopolitan representation of modernity, in particular its projection of a rupturebetween the old ‘Westphalian’ order of nation states and the advancing cosmopolitan order of the (...)

  9. (1 other version)Cosmopolitanism and human rights: Radicalism in a global age.Robert Fine - 2009 - Metaphilosophy 40 (1):8-23.
    Abstract: The cosmopolitan imagination constructs a world order in which the idea of human rights is an operative principle of justice. Does it also construct an idealisation of human rights? The radicality of Enlightenment cosmopolitanism, as developed by Kant, lay in its analysis of the roots of organised violence in the modern world and its visionary programme for changing the world. Today, the temptation that faces the cosmopolitan imagination is to turn itself into an endorsement of the existing order of (...)

    Futility, the Multiorganization Policy Statement, and the Schneiderman Response.Robert L. Fine - 2018 - Perspectives in Biology and Medicine 60 (3):358-366.
    “Futility of futilities,” said Kohelet, “futility of futilities, all is futile!” Once again we are exploring futility, a concept understood by humanity at least from the beginning of the written word. Our oldest written story, the Epic of Gilgamesh, reminds us of the futility of chasing immortality. At least a millennium later, yet still in ancient times, the Book of Kohelet teaches that all human pursuits, not only the pursuit of immortality, are futile or vain—terms once used synonymously. The ancient (...)

    Crimes Against Humanity: Hannah Arendt and the Nuremberg Debates.Robert Fine - 2000 - European Journal of Social Theory 3 (3):293-311.
    The institution of crimes against humanity at Nuremberg in 1945 was an event which marked the birth of cosmopolitan law as a social reality. Cosmopolitan law has existed as an abstract idea at least since the writings of Kant in the late eighteenth century, but Nuremberg turned the notion of humanity from a merely regulative idea into a substantial entity. Crimes against humanity differ significantly from the traditional categories of international law: war crimes and crimes against peace. While the latter (...)

    Social Theory After the Holocaust.Robert Fine & Charles Turner - 2000 - Liverpool University Press.
    In what has become a famous quotation, the philosopher Theodor Adorno commented that to write poetry "after Auschwitz" is barbaric. If the holocaust is an "event" that may legitimately be described as unspeakable, it is hard to see why poetry deserves more opprobrium than other ways of framing it, including what may broadly be called social theory. After all, if social theory were once guilty of ignoring the holocaust, it has also exhibited the barbarism of reason involved in transforming this (...)

    Cosmopolitanism and the Modern Revolutionary Tradition: Reflections on Arendt's Politics.Robert Fine - 2016 - Critical Horizons 17 (1):8-23.
    This paper reviews the contribution of Hannah Arendt's 1963 monograph, On Revolution, to the theme of this collection: “contestatory cosmopolitanism.” I am critical of normative interpretations of the text that treat it as a wholesale rejection of the French revolutionary tradition and as a tribute either to American constitutionalism, in more liberal readings, or to the council system of direct democracy, in more radical readings. I read it against this doctrinal grain as a dialectical analysis of the modern revolutionary tradition (...)

    Dehumanising the dehumanisers: reversal in human rights discourse.Robert Fine - 2010 - Journal of Global Ethics 6 (2):179-190.
    If the legitimacy of international humanitarian and human rights law lies, in part at least, in its capacity to confront dehumanising actions in the modern world, we may speak of the limits of this achievement. It is well known that people who commit genocide or crimes against humanity typically dehumanise those against whom their crimes are committed and that the humanitarian and human rights dimensions of international law were developed in response to the radicalisation of this phenomenon. The expanded scope (...)

    Mir scheint hinter dem Konzept der Dialektik der Aufklärung die Hypothese zu stehen, dass eine kategorische Ablehnung der Naturrechtsidee uns im Kampf gegen das totalitäre Potenzial der Moderne schwächt. Die Betonung der Historizität, Vergänglichkeit und Relativität des Rechts ist nicht falsch. Verabsolutiert man sie aber, ebnet man dem Rechtsnihilismus den Weg. Die Überzeugung, alle Gesetze würden lediglich positives Recht darstellen, allein von Menschenhand geschaffen, droht jegliche Beschränkung dessen, was Menschen postulieren können, zu beseitigen. Das Konzept der Dialektik der Aufklärung nimmt (...)
