Dr. Hannes Kuch

 I am a Lecturer in Philosophy at the Goethe University Frankfurt and Co-Director of the newly founded Institut für Unternehmensdemocratie (IfU) (Institute for Corporate Democracy), a think tank at the intersection of academia, politics, and businesses. With the support of the Institute for Economic Democracy, the IfU develops pragmatic strategies to foster democratic structures within businesses. 

In philosophy, I served as a visiting substitute professor of Social Philosophy at the Goethe-University Frankfurt and of Political Theory and Political Philosophy at the Technical University Munich. Recently I acquired my Habilitation (the German second dissertation), based on a study on "Ethical Life and Liberal Socialism". I wrote my Habilitation in the context of a research project on social freedom and market socialism, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).  I received my PhD in 2012 at the Free University Berlin, after working on a research project on linguistic violence. 
 
I was a Research Fellow at the Global Ethic Institute Tuebingen, with a project on "Corporations, Human Rights, and Responsibility", at Stockholm University and at the Hannover Institute for Philosophical Research.
