The Social Dynamics of Disrespect: On the Location of Critical Theory Today

The tenth forum for the Blue Mountains Continental Philosophy Group will be on Friday the 20th of March. We will meet at 6.45pm for a 7pm start - See side bar for venue details.

This meeting we will be focusing on Axel Honneth's 1993 inaugural lecture at the Otto Suhr Institute of the Free University Berlin, The Social Dynamics of Disrespect: On the Location of Critical Theory Today. In some respects, this text will be a lead-in to our study of Honneth's The Struggle for Recognition: The Moral Grammar of Social Conflicts, beginning next month.
