Zusammenfassung
Kann Technik allein alle Umweltprobleme lösen, oder braucht es auch „weniger“ Konsum? Diese Frage wird schon lange in den Umweltwissenschaften diskutiert und kann mit Blick auf zumindest einige Umweltprobleme heute mit „Ja“ beantwortet werden. Es reicht jedoch nicht, wenn wenige Einzelne freiwillig ihren Verbrauch an umweltrelevanten Gütern einschränken („Suffizienz“), um insgesamt nachhaltige Konsummuster zu erreichen. Suffizienz muss auch auf politischer Ebene zum Thema werden. Es bestehen jedoch mit Blick auf mögliche Freiheitseinschränkungen Bedenken, ob sich eine Verringerung des Konsums in einem liberalen Staat politisch umsetzen lässt. Dieses Buch zeigt die Notwendigkeit und Wege der Rechtfertigung einer Politik der Suffizienz in liberaldemokratischen, wohlhabenden Staaten aus politisch-philosophischer Sicht auf. Weiterhin werden Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten sowie deren Grenzen diskutiert. Am Ende steht der Vorschlag einer Konzeption für eine Politik der Suffizienz.
Abstract
Can technology solve all our environmental problems, or do we also have to reduce our consumption? This question has been debated for a long time within environmental science circles and can, with regard to at least some environmental problems, be answered in the affirmative today. However, it is not enough if only some individuals reduce their use of environmentally relevant goods voluntarily (which is known as “sufficiency”) to achieve overall sustainable consumption patterns. Sufficiency has to become an issue on a political level, too. There are, however, doubts about the possibility of reducing consumption by means of politics in a liberal state because of the potential restrictions to freedom involved. This book shows the necessity and ways of legitimating a sufficiency policy within liberal-democratic, wealthy states from a political and philosophical perspective. Furthermore, it discusses ways of implementing such a policy as well as their limitations. Finally, the author proposes a concept for a sufficiency policy.
