Anarchē
Philosophy, Politics, and the Question of the Ground
Online Conference, 7-8 Jul 2021
Confronted with an arguably incomplete critique of the notion and history of sovereignty, contemporary lines of thinking have forcefully returned to the inquiry into political foundations. These theoretical approaches in philosophy and the humanities at large have attempted to find possibilities of dialogue concerning the critique of sovereign structures of power, the undoing of systemic violence, as well as the development of ideas of community and mutual aid. The conference ‘Anarchē’ aims to investigate the contemporary philosophical attempts at questioning traditional concepts of political foundations in order to rethink the central notion of ground or archē.
Organized by Damiano Sacco and Facundo Vega An ICI event in cooperation with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Berlino and the Centre Marc Bloch.
