• Introduction: The Aesthetics and Politics of (In)Visibility
  Critical Horizons29 November 2023By Michael RäberDepartment of Philosophy, University of Lucerne, Lucerne, SwitzerlandMichael Räber currently is senior lecturer at the University of Lucerne. He has published in Philosophy and Social Criticism, Contemporary Pragmatism, and other journals. His research focuses on aesthetic and epistemic questions of social justice and democratic participation. His Knowing Democracy (Springer 2020) draws on Dewey and Arendt to develop a theory of democratic judgment that interweaves the epistemic and aesthetic dimensions of political judgment. His most recent publications address the connections between social freedom, struggles over recognition, visibility politics, and the aesthetic dis- and configuration of democracy. Emphasizing the importance of rupturing acts, responsiveness, and imaginative practices, they contribute to a nuanced understanding of the political significance of aesthetic autonomy and affect in the context of democratic ideals and emancipatory action. He is currently working on a new project titled "The Power of Imagination and Experimentation in Times of Democracy in Crisis".
