Dr. Hannes Kuch
Social Philosophy, Political Philosophy and
Critical Political Economy
I am a Lecturer in Philosophy at the Goethe University, Frankfurt. I am interested in markets, capitalism and alternative economies, such as market socialism or demoratic planning. I also work on ethical life, recognition, symbolic vulnerability and linguistic violence. My main interests in the history of philosophy are Hegel, Marx and 20th century critical theories, broadly conceived.
My new book on Hegel and liberal socialism was published in the series of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research at Campus Verlag.
