Politica e cratologia

Sul concetto di potere in Vittorio Hösle

Abstract

This article treats the phenomenology of power by Vittorio Hösle. He distinguishes two disciplines: cratology and politics. The first means a power which is only interested in itself and whose only goal is self-implementation. Politics means a power that endeavors for need and rights of citizens. The last part features a discussion on how religion can offer coordination in the sphere of ethical policy and a contribution in the formation of a global ethic.
