Entscheidung und Macht. Kondylis als Kritiker des Normativismus

Published/Copyright: July 20, 2012

Abstract

Despite his undeniable erudition Kondylis never made his mark on the contemporary discussions. This is not surprising, because he preferred to stay in opposition to the mainstream of normativistic thinking, as shown in a rereading of his programmatic work on “Macht und Entscheidung”. Yet this isolated position allows the deficits of normativism to be perceived in remarkable lucidity in mirror-image reversal: a restricted perception of political power and the unclear relation between deliberation and decision. Hence the consequence can be drawn that any attempt at a normative conception of life-world must clarify its relationship to a positive concept of power and the meaning of decision-making.
