Details

The workshop contrasts recognitive perspectives on social interaction, particularly from the German critical theory tradition, with a range of alternative philosophical perspectives, particularly drawn from contemporary French philosophy and phenomenology, which explore alternative understandings and modalities through which social interaction is experienced. The papers will draw on the work of philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Axel Honneth, Michel Foucault, Paul Ricoeur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and others.
