8Recognition or Disagreement. A Critical Encounter on the Politics of Freedom, Equality, and Identity (edited book)Columbia University Press. 2016.Axel Honneth is best known for his critique of modern society centered on a concept of recognition. Jacques Rancière has advanced an influential theory of modern politics based on disagreement. Underpinning their thought is a concern for the logics of exclusion and domination that structure contemporary societies. In a rare dialogue, these two philosophers explore the affinities and tensions between their perspectives to provoke new ideas for social and political change. Honneth sees modern soci…Read more

26Exploited: Exploitation As A Subjective CategorySouthern Journal of Philosophy 54 (S1): 31-43. 2016.I focus on exploitation from the point of view of those who suffer from it, and so I take exploitation as a category of subjective experience. Adopting a subjective perspective on exploitation highlights important conceptual aspects about it and suggests important methodological rules on how to critically discuss social forms of exploitation. I start by introducing some key conceptual distinctions in the first two sections. These distinctions lead me to formulate a first, general definition of e…Read more

16Hegel’s ParliamentarianismThe Owl of Minerva 32 (2): 107-133. 2001.Of all the parts of the System, the Philosophy of Right has one unique feature. It is the only part for which, throughout his entire career, Hegel published one of his few books, while giving lectures on the very same topic. This peculiarity of the Philosophy of Right puts a special demand on those who try to interpret it. Although the version published by the author himself should constitute the ultimate reference of his social and political doctrine, because he has worked on the topic all thro…Read more

21This paper analyses the model of interaction at the heart of Axel Honneth's social philosophy. It argues that interaction in his mature ethics of recognition has been reduced to intercourse between human persons and that the role of nature is now missing from it. The ethics of recognition takes into account neither the material dimensions of individual and social action, nor the normative meaning of non-human persons and natural environments. The loss of nature in the mature ethics of recognitio…Read more

24The cruel poetics of MorrisseyThesis Eleven 120 (1): 90-103. 2014.Drawing on existential phenomenology, particularly Heidegger’s analytic of Dasein, and combining it with a developmental perspective, the paper focuses on those moments of crisis, in which a self faces the question of its own truth, and in the process posits the conditions for disclosing key aspects about the world and society. Late adolescence and early adulthood are the ‘ages of life’ in which such possibility of disclosure occurs most eminently, and this is relayed expressively and reflective…Read more

13The Return of Work in Critical Theory: Self, Society, PoliticsColumbia University Press. 2018.From John Maynard Keynes’s prediction of a fifteen-hour workweek to present-day speculation about automation, we have not stopped forecasting the end of work. Critical theory and political philosophy have turned their attention away from the workplace to focus on other realms of domination and emancipation. But far from coming to an end, work continues to occupy a central place in our lives. This is not only because of the amount of time people spend on the job. Many of our deepest hopes and fea…Read more

8La Philosophie sociale entre sociologie et psychologie sociale: le cas du travailCahiers Philosophiques 1 (1): 21-33. 2013.Cet article tente d’éclairer le rapport entre philosophie sociale et sciences sociales, en se demandant comment une philosophie sociale contemporaine doit traiter les questions relatives au travail. Le but, in fine, est de suggérer qu’en tentant de répondre à cette question spécifique on donne un éclairage intéressant sur des difficultés plus générales inhérentes au programme d’une philosophie sociale, notamment en ce qui concerne son rapport aux sciences sociales.

239The Great Leveler: Conceptual and Figural Ambiguities of EqualityCogent Arts and Humanities 4 (1). 2017.If we compare it with the fellow notion of liberty, equality has an ambivalent place in modern political thinking. Whilst it counts as one of the fundamental norms, many think that equality is valuable only as a way to realise some features of liberty. I take a historical perspective on this issue, and try to identify some of the pre-modern roots of such an ambivalent attitude towards equality. I do this by using Jacques Rancière’s political model as an analytical framework and by taking a visua…Read more

Lost Paradigm: The Fate of Work in Post-War French PhilosophyRevue Internationale de Philosophie 278 (4): 491-511. 2016.For a brief period, between the years immediately preceding the Second World War and for about a decade thereafter, the most important authors in French philosophy (Weil, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre) conducted their reflections within a “work paradigm”, that is, within theoretical frameworks in which the concept of work played the central, organising role. The first three sections of the paper identify the different meanings of work, which, brought together under the umbrella concept of “praxis”, unde…Read more

En quels sens le travail vivant est-il une catégorie politique?TRAVAILLER 36 59-74. 2016.This paper seeks to clarify some of the methodological and conceptual stakes involved in the attempt to think about politics from the point of view of "living labour". In order to avoid confusions further down the track, a formal analysis of the different possible meanings of "politics" is proposed. Politics is first defined as the series of problems that arise when separate individual lives attempt to organise a common life in common. Four types of problems can be identified on the basis of thi…Read more

18Work and the Precarisation of ExistenceEuropean Journal of Social Theory 11 (4): 443-463. 2008.This article aims to present a new perspective on contemporary debates about the transformations of work and employment, and their impacts on individuals and communities, by focusing on the writings of Christophe Dejours. Basically, the article attempts to show that Dejours' writings make a significant contribution to contemporary social theory. This might seem like an odd claim to make, since Dejours' main training was in psychoanalysis and his main activity is the clinical, psychiatric study o…Read more
