Hamid Malekzadeh

I work at the intersection of phenomenology and political theory, with a particular focus on Husserl, the lifeworld, embodiment, intersubjectivity, social ontology, and the phenomenological foundations of the political. My research examines the state, political order, freedom, recognition, and collective life from the standpoint of lived experience rather than treating the state as the primary unit of political analysis. I also work on modern political thought, especially Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Carl Schmitt, as well as feminist phenomenology and the phenomenology of sexual difference.
