Domination workshop imageFriday May 3rd 2013

Leslie Stephen Room
Trinity Hall, Cambridge 

Domination is the locus of influential continental analyses of unfreedom, inequality and power. It has recently received wide attention in analytic philosophy, thanks in part to the innovative theoretical agenda of Republicanism. This workshop will critically discuss that agenda, and negotiate alternative conceptions of domination, drawing upon the traditions of liberal, Marxist and critical theory.
