Abstract

Der philosophischen Bedeutung folgend, beschreibt „Subsistenz“ die Faehigkeit, aus sich selbst heraus zu existieren. Der vorliegende Beitrag greift dies auf und spezifiziert, was ueblicherweise als „Subsistenzrecht“ bezeichnet wird. Letzteres wird als Moralprinzip vorgestellt, das sich als Kriterium der Zumutbarkeit der Integrativen Wirtschaftsethik von Peter Ulrich verstehen laesst. Darueber hinaus werden einzelne Konsequenzen des Subsistenzrechts vor dem Hintergrund der Hartz-IV-Debatte diskutiert. (According to the philosophical tradition of the term, “subsistence” describes the ability of the existence by itself. The article concentrates on this term and specifies what is commonly called “right to subsistence”. The latter will be introduced as a moral principle which might be interpreted as a specification of the criterion of “reasonableness” (Zumutbarkeit) within Peter Ulrich’s Integrative Economics Ethics. In addition, the article discusses some consequences of the right to subsistence with respect to the German debate about social benefits (Hartz IV).)
