However, being 'respect' a complex and ambiguous notion, the article studies some arguments that go in the direction of justifying the move from respect for persons to respect for their beliefs. According to Habermas, there is a respect citizens of a democracy owe each other that requires taking each other's opinions seriously, including their religiously motivated opinions. What is more, Habermas claims that we all have something to learn from each other. The articles argues against this line of thought and states there is no obligation to respect anything about people's moral claims except their right to make them. The article argues against Habermas's approach by showing its epistemological and ontological inconsistency and concludes that respect for persons as moral reasongivers or as fellow-citizens does not lead to any substantial respect for the contents of their claims.

Likewise, by misinterpreting racism as a thing of the past or as misguided individual prejudices, political theory has largely ignored the reality of everyday racism that operates under the radar of these hypervisualized and mediatised outbursts of hate speech and organized violence.
The silence of political theory suggests that classical concepts of multiculturalism, republicanism, recognition and justice might be inadequate to tackle the banality of racism in Europe‘s postcolonial and post-fascist societies. Based on this assumption, the workshop aims to widen the field of political theory’s hegemonic canon and concepts. Which theoretical strands and marginalized forms of knowledge are necessary to establish political theory as a ‚race‘ critical theory? Which concepts enable political theory to both grasp and critique racist habits, practices, discourses and institutions in democratic societies? How can political theory confront the legacies and continuities of European colonialisms and racisms that reverberate epistemologically within its own discipline? And finally, what is the responsibility of politically and ethically engaged academics in the light of an ever increasing racism?
This two-day interdisciplinary workshop will gather scholars working in the fields of political theory, legal theory, sociology and philosophy to share their different theoretical perspectives on racism in its interdependency with classism, sexism, homo- and trans*phobia. Besides individual papers, a roundtable discussion will highlight their engagement with bridging the gap between a ‚race‘ critical theory and an anti-racist political practice.
