Conference Announcement Theme: Justice in Transcultural Perspective Type: German-Arab Conference Institution: Institute of Philosophy, University of Kassel Location: Kassel (Germany) Date: 7.–9.10.2014 __________________________________________________ What philosophers can contribute to the transformative processes in the aftermath of the Arab Spring (in particular with regard to Egypt and Tunisia) is to address the central transitional problems with the methods of moral, political and transcultural philosophy. The revolutionary movements were guided by normative ideas such as the determination and realization of human rights, the strengthening of toleration and the establishment of justice within a democratic order. Closely related to these ideas are questions about the formation of identities, historical justice and cultural cohesion. The complex structure of these ideas suggests an outreach to neighboring disciplines. Thematic Focus The planned conference on the conception of justice is motivated by the concern that constitutional assurance of political and religious freedom will not be sufficient for stabilizing the transitional process. In addition the political order is in need of a prospering economic order which reaches all groups of citizens and will be experienced as sufficiently just. What is needed here is the construction of a conception of justice which could be accepted as a common judging standard. With regard to the particular problems of transitional states, there are at least three aspects to consider.
