By arguing that these contemporary disputes revolve around four moral ideals or ideal visions of the German community, the book draws upon the insights of Émile Durkheim to explore the role of the sacred in political conflict. It contends that at the core of each moral ideal lies a sacred object that serves as the basis for specific policies and behaviors, leading to conflicts that encompass free speech, German Memory Culture, inner-party rivalries, and political violence, ultimately shaping the very essence of what it means to be German. This groundbreaking work includes a theoretical reworking of Durkheim's sociology, which is applied to the study of power and politics as well as to debates in political philosophy. Appealing to scholars across various disciplines, including political sociology, comparative politics, social and political theory, and issues related to citizenship, national identity, and belonging, this volume offers a comprehensive exploration of the complex dynamics shaping German society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032217703\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PaulCarls","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104737816826,"sku":"9781032217703","price":136.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665772446034_book.jpg?v=1665933186","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/multiculturalism-and-the-nation-in-germany-a-study-in-moral-conflict-9781032217703","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
