商品描述


This book takes a fresh and interdisciplinary approach to the concept of subsidiarity. While subsidiarity is commonly understood as an organizational principle that assigns competences to the appropriate level within an organization, its application extends beyond politics. This innovative book offers a comprehensive analysis that includes religious and secular perspectives, exploring the relevance of subsidiarity to society, business, law and politics.
By bridging the gap between theology, philosophy, political science, law, and history, this volume fills a significant gap in the literature. It reexamines the ideological foundations of subsidiarity within the Catholic social tradition, investigates its practical implications, and questions how it can address the challenges faced by contemporary business environments, particularly issues of social inequity. With a normative and conceptual approach, the book critically reflects on the links between subsidiarity and themes such as responsible business practices, ecological concerns, individual autonomy, and the common good. By exploring the potential of subsidiarity to overcome dichotomies and promote a middle ground between government-based solutions and individual freedom, the volume offers valuable insights and practical solutions.
This volume stands out as the first major study dedicated to subsidiarity in society, business, law and politics. Through its multidisciplinary lens, it sheds light on unexplored connections and highlights the role of subsidiarity in fostering ethical and socially responsible behavior. It is an essential resource for researchers, PhD and graduate students, as well as professionals in theology, philosophy, political sciences, law, and history who seek a comprehensive understanding of subsidiarity and its implications for contemporary issues.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書以新穎且跨學科的方式探討了次位性的概念。儘管次位性通常被理解為一種將權限分配給組織內適當層級的組織原則,但其應用範圍超越政治領域。這本創新的書籍提供了一個全面的分析,包括宗教和世俗觀點,探討次位性對社會、商業、法律和政治的相關性。

通過橋接神學、哲學、政治科學、法律和歷史之間的鴻溝,這本書填補了文獻中的一個重要空白。它重新檢視了次位性在天主教社會傳統中的意識形態基礎,調查了其實際影響,並質疑它如何應對當代商業環境所面臨的挑戰,特別是社會不平等問題。本書以規範性和概念性的方法,對次位性與負責任的商業實踐、生態關懷、個人自主權和共同利益等主題之間的聯繫進行了批判性反思。通過探索次位性在克服二元對立並促進政府解決方案與個人自由之間的中間立場的潛力,本書提供了有價值的見解和實踐解決方案。

這本書是首部專注於次位性在社會、商業、法律和政治領域的重要研究。通過多學科的視角,它揭示了未被探索的聯繫,並凸顯了次位性在促進道德和社會負責任行為方面的作用。對於尋求全面理解次位性及其對當代問題的影響的研究人員、博士和研究生以及神學、哲學、政治科學、法律和歷史等專業人士來說,這是一個必不可少的資源。
