In it, the philosopher wants to show that transnational norms of human rights ultimately strengthen rather than weaken democratic sovereignty.   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Events<\/strong> (selection):<br\/><br\/><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20230204193309\/https:\/\/www.normativeorders.net\/media\/images\/Plakate\/2014-06-04_Benhabib_Vortrag.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20230204193309\/https:\/\/www.normativeorders.net\/media\/images\/Plakate\/2014-06-04_Benhabib_Vortrag.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>4 June 2014, 7.30 pm<em><br\/>Lecture as part of the centenary celebrations of Goethe University Frankfurt am Main<\/em><br\/>&#8220;Der ethisch-politische Horizont der Kritischen Theorie: Gestern und heute&#8221;<br\/>Venue: Goethe University Frankfurt am Main<br\/>Campus Westend, HZ 5<br\/>Organizer: Cluster of Excellence &#8220;The Formation of Normative Orders&#8221;<br\/><em><br\/><\/em>13 June 2014<em><br\/>Lecture at the retreat of the Principal Investigators of the Cluster of Excellence &#8220;<\/em>The Formation of Normative Orders&#8221;<br\/>&#8220;From the &#8216;Right to Have Rights&#8217; to the &#8216;Critique of Humanitarian Reason&#8217; against the Cynical Turn in Human Rights Discourse&#8221;<br\/>Location: Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften der Goethe-Universit\u00e4t Frankfurt am Main<br\/>Organizer: Cluster of Excellence &#8220;The Formation of Normative Orders&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>June 30, 2014, 7.30 pm<br\/>&#8220;Die Ungehaltenen&#8221;<br\/>Reading with Deniz Utlu.
