Folk

Hvad indebærer ordet "Folk", og hvilken betydning har det for os danskere? Det er netop sådanne spørgsmål, som Ove Korsgaard tager op i "Folk". I forbindelse med folkebegrebet kommer han ind på emner som globalisering, multikultur, køn, identitet og social og retslig status, som alle er emner, der i den grad diskuteres i dagens Danmark. I bogen præsenterer Korsgaard bl.a. historien bag begrebet "Folk", ligesom han understreger dets værd. Tænkepauser er en lille serie af tænksomme og filosofiske bøger, som udkommer én gang om måneden, og som er skrevet af nogle af landets klogeste hoveder.
