25John Dewey and Social Criticism: An IntroductionJournal of Speculative Philosophy 31 (2): 213-217. 2017.Critical social theories are generally understood to be distinct from other normative theories by their explicit orientation toward emancipation: they not only present normative criteria for assessing the legitimacy or justification of social institutions or merely inquire into the actualized freedom of a given form of social life but claim to point toward a “freedom in view”—an end that might aid those participating in social struggles to overcome the pathological, alienated, or ideological soc…Read more

6Is populism a social pathology? The myth of immediacy and its effectsEuropean Journal of Social Theory 25 (4): 578-595. 2022.This article argues that populism, both in its left-wing and right-wing versions, is a social pathology in the sense contemporary critical theorists give to it. As such, it suffers from a disconnect between first order political practices and the reflexive grasp of the meaning of those practices. This disconnect is due to populists’ ideal of freedom, which they understand as authentic self-expression of ‘the People’, rejecting the need for mediating instances such as parties, parliaments or epis…Read more

158Articulating the Social. Expressive Domination and Dewey's Epistemic Argument for DemocracyPhilosophy and Social Criticism 1 (1): 1-19. 2022.This paper aims at providing an epistemic defense of democracy based on John Dewey’s idea that democracies do not only find problems and provide solutions to them but they also articulate problems. According to this view, when citizens inquire about collective issues, they also partially shape them. This view contrasts with the standard account of democracy’s epistemic defense, according to which democracy’s is good at tracking and finding solutions that are independent of political will-formati…Read more

400Approfondir la démocratie avec John Dewey : pratiques épistémiques et mouvements sociaux.Pragmata 2 63-110. 2019.Comment l’oeuvre de Dewey nous aide-t-elle à rendre compte du potentiel de démocratisation des luttes sociales, tout en mettant l’accent sur leurs activités d’enquête* ? Au-delà des approches délibératives, une approche deweyenne montre comment les mobilisations collectives, qui visent à produire des « cadres d’injustice » et à promouvoir des « relations justes », ont le potentiel d’approfondir la pratique démocratique. Mon argumentation s’organise en trois temps. Tout d’abord, elle montre comme…Read more

64Overcoming Hermeneutical Injustice: Cultural Self-Appropriation and the Epistemic Practices of the OppressedJournal of Speculative Philosophy 31 (2): 299-310. 2017.In the last three decades, ongoing debates on the epistemic features of democratic decision making have influenced the way we conceive the basic terms of democratic theory, such as inclusion, participation, public reason, and collective autonomy.1 Within these debates, attention has been given to the role played by mobilized collectives in the generation of the knowledge necessary for the enhancement of the epistemic quality of those processes. However, little attention has been given to a furth…Read more

27Articulating a Sense of Powers: An Expressivist Reading of John Dewey's Theory of Social MovementsTransactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society 53 (1): 53. 2017.In the series of lectures he delivered during the two years he spent in China, John Dewey provided the most complete version of his theory of social conflict and struggle. The two textual sources from this time we have at our disposal – the doubly translated lectures published in Honolulu2 and Dewey’s original notes recently published under the name of Lectures in Social and Political Philosophy 3 – outline an original understanding of social conflict as taking place between groups with differen…Read more
