Theory and opinions

Schnebel primarily deals with heterogeneous societies, extremism, populism, gender issues and religious politics. In doing so, she tries to derive from the theoretical-philosophical question on the concrete political-social level how many similarities are necessary in a state in order to achieve a maximum degree of justice in the long term, in order to favor democracy . Specifically, the question is under which conditions these commonalities can be lived so that a democratic system can achieve a maximum degree of justice and democracy in the long term.

Individual and collective understanding of human rights

In her work, Schnebel questions whether it is individual human rights that guarantee maximum freedom of self-determination and development, or whether this requires collective human rights, and if so, in what form. The aim is that a society can live in peace and, if possible, with maximum self-determination and development opportunities. Schnebel conceived this question in her master's thesis and developed it further in her doctoral thesis and habilitation thesis. Proceeding from heterogeneous societies, the so-called foreign is transferred to all those who do not identify with the place where they live. Identification is crucial for the success of peaceful coexistence in pluralistic societies and as a prevention against extremism and populism. The prerequisite for this is a society that is viewed as fair by as many residents as possible. Such a society also requires common values.

Gender equality

In her habilitation, Schnebel transfers this question to the question of gender equality: what should a society look like that enables maximum self-determination for both genders?

Political education

Schnebel applies the idea of ​​genetic political didactics to questions in the field of education; it treats them as the basis for all declarations, for justifying the necessity of a social contract and its model of self-determination. A fundamental question here is what we would do if we lost our current achievements. In political education, this also flows into questions of political dilemma discussion , which enables the conception of self-determination to be questioned again and again and thus stimulates further development.

At the interface between political philosophy and political education, Schnebel sees the opportunity to apply knowledge from political science in society and politics, since this connection is viewed as a decisive factor for the conception of democracy and self-determination that is constantly being redefined. This is one of the basic ideas of the Social Science Institute Munich for Future Issues, which she co-founded

religion

Schnebel regards the term secularization as a consequence of the expropriation of the churches at the beginning of the 19th century and the distance to the church through a change in religious thinking and less as a decline in religiosity in general as a result of globalization. The element of order that all religions contain could make a contribution to peace.

engagement

In 2001 Schnebel was the initiator and co-founder of the parents' initiative MOUSE Childrenhouse eV She was the director and pedagogical director of the English Montessori children's home for six years. Since October 2016 she has been a member of the spokesman's council of the Bavarian Value Alliance Foundation.
