Hermann Cohen’s contributions to the urgently needed fraternity
Abstract
Fraternity was part of the French revolutionary triad, but it has not had the same deployment as the other two ethico-political ideals. This article presents, on the one hand, the state of the question of fraternity as an ethical-political category, its neglect and its essential features. On the other hand, this research highlights the philosophy of Hermann Cohen and his contribution to the current debate on fraternity. The category of the neighbour is central to his work and helps to revise and expand the revolutionary ideal of fraternity.
