Human Being and Vulnerability : Beyond Constructivism and Essentialism in Judith Butler, Steven Pinker, and Colin Gunton
- 2020
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Joseph Sverker explores the division between social constructivism and a biologist essentialism by means of Christian theology. For this, Sverker uses a fascinating approach: He lets critical theorist Judith Butler, psycholinguist Steven Pinker, and systematic theologian Colin Gunton interact. While theology plays a central part to make the interaction possible, the context is also that of the school and the effect of institutions on the pupil as a human being and learner.In order to understand what underlies the division between nature and nurture, or biology and the social in school, Sverker develops new central concepts such as a kenotic personalism, a weak ontology of relationality, and a relational and performative reading of evolution. He argues that most fundamental for what it is to be human is the person, vulnerability, bodiliness, openness to the other, and dependence.Sverker concludes that the division between constructivism and essentialism discloses a deeper divide, namely that between fundamentally vulnerable persons on the one hand and constructed independent individuals on the other.

Beyond Capitalist Dystopia : Reclaiming Freedom and Democracy in the Age of Global Crises
- 2022. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This provocative book interrogates the ideology of capitalism as the "default" narrative underpinning various mainstream ideologies in the contemporary world. The book explores the genesis, structure and functioning of this ideological narrative, provides its critical assessment and outlines a possible alternative, beyond the logic of capitalism and toward a truly free and democratic society.The book takes a broad view of the major global challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and persuasively argue that, in order to resolve any of the major global problems, from the ongoing ecological crisis to economic and geopolitical issues, we need to confront the capitalist system. To unpack the logic of contemporary capitalist ideology, and the way it structures our inter-personal and political relations, the book gives an analysis of the "end of ideology" narrative and offers a critical assessment of the ideas behind the widely used but fundamentally flawed concept of "Liberal democracy." The book revisits metaphysical foundations behind the ideology of capitalism, exposing their secular-religious dimension, and their immanent oppressiveness. Based on this deconstruction of the metaphysical foundations implicit in (Neo)Liberalism and capitalism, the book offers a way in which alternative metaphysical foundations can be constructed to allow for different socio-political and economic models that would be based on a radical affirmation of freedom and democracy, as well as human responsibility for the natural environment.

Samvete i Sverige : om frihet och lydnad från medeltiden till idag
- 2021
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vi lever i en tid då tankar om samvete och samvetsfrihet syns allt oftare i svensk offentlighet i rikspolitiken, på tidningarnas ledarsidor och i sociala medier. Historiskt sett har de båda begreppen använts för att markera en viss mån av frihet eller en skyddad position i moraliska, politiska och rättsliga konflikter.Hänvisningar till en enskild människas samvete och skillnader mellan en inre och en yttre domstol har kunnat legitimera befrielse från religiösa och statliga tvångsmekanismer och motiverat exempelvis vapen- eller abortvägran.En grupp forskare i historia, mänskliga rättigheter, rätts-vetenskap, etik och religionssociologi tar här ett gemensamt grepp om några av de mest brännande konflikterna kring samvete och samvetsfrihet i Sverige från medeltiden till idag. Fram träder en bild av komplexa och motspänstiga begrepp som även idag bär påtagliga spår av äldre distinktioner och historiska konfliktsammanhang.
