Implications from Rainer Forst’s normative theory for his conception of the person
Abstract
The goal of this article is to explore the conceptual implications that Rainer Forst’s normative theory brings to his conception of the person. In order to do so, it will be at first given a brief description of the normative theory articulated by Forst in his first book. After that, it will be exposed his conception of toleration as respect, and his conception of the person. Finally, some conceptual interactions between Forst’s general theory and his conception of the person will be identified, out of which some implications from his more general theory for such conception will emerge. After a brief summary of those implications, I conclude with a brief critique to such conception of the person and, nevertheless, argue for the relevance of his approach for contemporary problems.
