	S. Benhabib, Situating the Self
		Benhabib's concern with preserving a dialectic between universality and particularity with respect to ethics in deeply connected with her insistence on the preservation of subjectivity, and rightly so.
		While Benhabib accepts as necessary the demise of an abstract, imperial subject with all its claims to epistemic and political privilege, she proposes a subjectivity that is radically situated and contextualized.
		Benhabib articulates an emphatic concern with uncovering and promoting possibilities of a way of life based on universal values of respect for others and mutual intersubjective recognition that yet allows people to engage in moral decisions that are best for them and their particular communities within specific historical epochs.

		Likewise, she is critical of Benhabib for, first, apparently investing subjects with the capacity to deliberate or act outside of their cultural context and, second, criticizing her own account of performativity with such a conception of the subject in mind (1995c, 135).
		Benhabib understands Butler's theory of performativity to have debilitating consequences for the emancipatory objectives of a feminist politics insofar as she perceives the subjective capacities of "choice" and "self-determination" to be missing from it.

	Moderator's Summary: First Discussion Thread
		Benhabib seems to point to a common ground of shared assumptions that might make such a "working" public sphere possible (in part as she sees that religious positions are not irrational - and thus more obviously opposed to public rationality - but rather incorporate rationality within their frameworks of belief).
		Benhabib does so in part because, like Laurie Shrage, she thinks there is a genuine dilemma in juxtaposing a putative "right to life" over against a supposed "right to choice," - i.e., it is by no means obvious as to which should take precedence over the other.
		Benhabib suggests in her earlier post, in a manner similar to Rawls, that the Enlightenment ideal of individual liberty is a widely enough shared ideal to guide public policy on abortion.

	2005 Ralph Bunche Award
		Benhabib makes the connection between human rights and the rights of individuals to be "legal" persons no matter what territory they find themselves in or to what country they migrate.
		Benhabib asserts that with "20 million refugees, asylum seekers, and 'internally displaced' persons in the world" the conventional concept of protecting borders from so-called "outsiders" is in contradiction with contemporary notions of human rights (pp.
		Benhabib advocates cosmopolitan federalism, which involves transnational forms of citizenship and the incorporation of those who support with their labor and resources the nations in which they reside while retaining rights and connections with the nation in which they were born.

	The Claims of Culture : Equality and Diversity in the Global Era - Hotel Resource Book Store (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Seyla Benhabib's important new book "The Claims of Culture" addresses a constellation of issues with which our contemporary liberal democratic society must deal in an age of cultural diversity both within the political boundaries the nation-state and at the global level.
		Benhabib's basic points are lost in a jungle of jargon that appears to be written only for herself or for a very tight circle of over-specialized academics who share the same unintelligible language.
		Tragically, Benhabib's points about the evolutionary nature of culture and its fit within democratic societies are valid, interesting, and worthy of contemplation, but her writing prevents most people from ever grasping them.

	Performing Gender (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Benhabib’s essay begins the dialogue with a critique of postmodernism in the feminist context.
		Benhabib takes exception to Butler’s erasure of the self because part of feminism’s political, activist agenda is to encourage autonomy and feelings of selfhood in women.
		Benhabib’s feminism, which insists on a subject that relies on the sex/gender binary, is exclusionary.

	Benhabib, S.: The Claims of Culture: Equality and Diversity in the Global Era.
		Analyzing in detail the transformation of citizenship practices in European Union countries, Benhabib concludes that flexible citizenship, certain kinds of legal pluralism and models of institutional powersharing are quite compatible with deliberative democracy, as long as they are in accord with egalitarian reciprocity, voluntary self-ascription, and freedom of exit and association.

	The Responsive Community - In Response: Support for Modesty and the Nation-State: Michael Walzer
		Benhabib takes on a set of important issues, and it's those that I propose to discuss.
		I am sure Benhabib agrees that whatever conditions she or I would want to attach to citizenship, the right to organize unions and join movements is unconditional.
		As Benhabib suggests, it is necessary to imagine a variety of national, regional, and global regimes, operating at different levels, providing different kinds of help, and engaging the loyalty of individual men and women in different ways.

	Powell's Books - The Claims of Culture: Equality and Diversity in the Global Era by Seyla Benhabib (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Maintaining that cultures are themselves torn by conflicts about their own boundaries, Seyla Benhabib challenges the assumption shared by many theorists and activists that cultures are clearly defined wholes.
		She argues that much debate--including that of "strong" multiculturalism, which sees cultures as distinct pieces of a mosaic--is dominated by this faulty belief, one with grave consequences for how we think injustices among groups should be redressed and human diversity achieved.
		Analyzing in detail the transformation of citizenship practices in European Union countries, Benhabib concludes that flexible citizenship, certain kinds of legal pluralism and models of institutional powersharing are quite compatible with deliberativedemocracy, as long as they are in accord with egalitarian reciprocity, voluntary self-ascription, and freedom of exit and association.

		By situating Benhabib’s and Ackerman’s arguments in cognitive-developmental terms, we can clarify the source of their conflict and suggest a direction in which Benhabib’s argument needs to be extended.
		In this paper the classification of Ackerman’s position as Stage 5 and Benhabib’s position as Stage 5½ is only a way to understand key features of their arguments and thereby guide us to standard lines of critique.
		For Ackerman’s theory this is a fairly easy task; as Benhabib shows, the SPI divides public and private in a way that has very clear power consequences and is thus unacceptable to those whose voices are muted thereby.

		Seyla, there are folks there who we can\rquote t even begin to imagine.
		Seyla is moving in this direction through her embracing of narrativity and plurality as constitutive attachments.
		Although Seyla fiercely attributes moral choice to the individual, she assumes that change legitimately comes from within the purview of democra tic institutions.

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Reluctant Modernism of Hannah Arendt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Arguing against the standard interpretation of Hannah Arendt as an antimodernist lover of the Greek polis, author Seyla Benhabib contends that Arendt's thought emerges out of a double legacy: German Existenz philosophy, and particularly the thought of Martin Heidegger, and her experiences as a German-Jewess in the age of totalitarianism.
		Benhabib concludes that in illuminating the issues of this century we should think "with Arendt, contra Arendt." Examining the philosophy of one of the most intriguing figures in modern political theory, The Reluctant Modernism of Hannah Arendt will be an invaluable resource for students and professionals in political science, political theory, and comparative politics.
		Focusing on Arendt's philosophical debt to Martin Heidegger as well as on her efforts to confront its failure by extending his insights to the political realm, Benhabib situates Arendt's thinking at the crossroads between existential phenomenology and her experience as a Jewish exile in the age of totalitarianism.

		Seyla Benhabib combines ideas on communitarianism, feminism and postmodernism in a brilliant fashion.
		The role of the self and how the self is perceived is basic to all the philosophies, and Benhabib comes at political philosophy from this vantage point.
		The central theme of the Benhabib text is how democracy handles "difference" in society, although the articles are wide-ranging and cover various aspects of democratic theory.

		Benhabib's model of democracy is firmly rooted in a systematic and well-developed moral theory, and her policy recommendations are informed both by extensive philosophical reflection and by her uncompromising commitment to individual identity.
		As Benhabib makes very clear, in this context we face a dual imperative of remaining sensitive to the plurality of the ways people both near and far choose how to live, while simultaneously seeking out a mode of reflexive ethical universalism that can provide foundations for normatively addressing crises with world-reach.
		Benhabib's has a masterful grasp of the multiple literatures involved in her undertaking and is a virtuoso of conveying their multiform ideas both incisively and reliably.

		'Situating the Self' is Benhabib's attempt to come to terms with the theses of postmodernism in the light of the demands of feminism.
		To be brief and thereby to do her work no justice at all, she argues cogently against the worst excesses of postmodernism.
		As an example of her critique she uses the work of her colleague, Judith Butler, in which the latter claims that the subject has no gender, no narratives, but is in fact simply a set of performances, to demonstrate the details of her criticism.

		But when Professor Seyla Benhabib, one of the country's top scholars of German writers, decided to leave earlier this year for Yale, it left Harvard's department with few senior Faculty to offer graduate students in German political theory.
		Although Benhabib had stopped teaching such courses several years before she left-in part so that she could chair Harvard's Committee on Social Studies-her decision to leave suggested to many that the department would continue to lack such a program of courses for its graduate students.
		University of Chicago Professor Robert B. Pippin, like Benhabib, is considered one of the country's foremost experts on European continental writers-and was offered a tenured post at Harvard last year but declined it, mostly for personal reasons.
