Zusammen mit Martin Saar organisiere ich einen Workshop zu Foucaults historisch-philosophischer Praxis, die exemplarisch in seinen 13 Vorlesungen am Collège de France sichtbar wird. Der volle Titel lautet: “Philosophie, Kritik, Geschichte: Foucaults historisch-philosophische Praxis in den Vorlesungen”.

The progam for the conference of the DVPW-Section Political Theory and History of Ideas has arrived!

My essay “The Problem of Post-Truth” has just been published in Behemoth. A Journal on Civilisation. I argue that the diagnosis of a “post-truth era” is wrong and dangerous.

You can find it in the journal though.

We, the editors of the Zeitschrift für philosophische Literatur, have written a short article for the blog praefaktisch. In it, we report about the aims, obstacles and joy of running an open-access online journal.
