PHIL 145 Political Philosophy after 1968
Traces developments in philosophy and social theory after 1968, when the form of labor and capital’s relation changed radically (through offshoring and automation) by reading widely in critical philosophy of race, feminist philosophy, and queer philosophy. It examines the variety of new, competing, liberationist accounts that foreground race, gender, and sexuality, investigating how these identitarian movements variously changed, enriched, or nullified the anti-capitalist impetus of classical Marxism.
