Hegel and Ethical Politics
University of Melbourne Summer School
Friday 20th February 2004, 9am-5pm $20/$8
Muhammed Kamal, Andy Blunden and Geoff Boucher
The last 30 years has seen a major shift in social conflicts in the
industrialised world, from struggles for socio-economic reforms to
demands for cultural recognition. In the polarised philosophical debate
surrounding this paradigm shift, the "struggle for recognition" is
opposed to conceptualisations of politics in terms of "redistributive
justice." This polarisation connects with another debate of crucial
importance to the Left, between advocates of the so-called "identity
politics" of the new social movements and defenders of class politics.
The "recognition debate," as it has come to be known, therefore concerns
the future of left-wing politics in the industrialised democracies.
This seminar explores the notion of "Recognition" from three different
angles.
