The Project of Emancipation and the Possibility of Politics, or, What's Wrong with Post-1968 Individualism?

In: Thesis eleven: critical theory and historical sociology, Heft 68, S. 31-45

Abstract

The thesis that "1968" resulted in the rise of the individual, on the one hand, & the end of politics, on the other, is critically discussed by interpreting the events of 1968 as a project of emancipation & by distinguishing between the individual & the collective aspects of emancipation. 14 References.
