Identity and the Difficulty of Emancipation

Więcej o książce

Focusing on the intersection of identity and politics, the book explores individual emancipation amid contemporary issues like nationalism, populism, and multiculturalism. It challenges the simplistic reconciliation of identity with emancipation found in liberal theories, arguing that true emancipation requires Kantian principles. The author contends that identity often ties individuals to collective values, advocating for a political approach that seeks to govern identities rather than merely accommodating them. This work calls for a redefined understanding of identity in political discourse.
