Philosophy and Anarchy: Anatomy of a Disavowal – Catherine Malabou

Monday, February 10, 2020 @ 7:00 pm8:30 pm

“The issue of anarchy is at once metaphysical and political. Nevertheless, (French) philosophy and politics have always turned their backs on each other when defining it.  One of the fundamental motivations of my lectures is to understand the reason of such a non-dialogue.

Different, sometimes contradictory, signs are making manifest the necessity of a new interrogation on anarchy in the current global political situation, far beyond the idea of a violent strategy against the State. How are we to understand and interpret those signs?”

– Catherine Malabou
