About this course

Alienation is a concept that refers to both social ills (like fetishism and objectification) and subjective experiences of estrangement and depersonalization. While the concept of alienation in Western philosophy is historically connected to Hegels and Marxs theories, the phenomenon of alienation plays a larger role in ethics and contemporary social and phenomenological philosophy. After introducing the origins of the concept of alienation in Hegel and Marx, this seminar will center on the phenomenology of alienation in relation to gender, race, technology, and migration.
