Critique of Forms of Life

For liberals, the question “Do others live rightly?” seems to demand a follow-up question: “Who am I to judge?” Peaceful coexistence, in this view, is predicated on restraint from morally evaluating our peers. But Rahel Jaeggi argues that criticizing is not only valid but also useful. Moral judgment is no error—the error lies in how we go about it.

Pentru liberali, intrebarea ,,Traiesc ceilalti corect?" pare sa necesite o intrebare ulterioara: ,,Cine sunt eu sa-i judec?". Coexistenta pasnica, din aceasta perspectiva, este bazata pe abtinerea de a ne evalua moral semenii. Insa Rahel Jaeggi sustine ca a critica nu este doar valid, ci si util.
