In person icon Political Philosophy and Political Theory

Abstract

This panel engages with foundational and emerging questions in political philosophy and theory, offering critical reflections on the conceptual underpinnings of political life. The papers address a range of themes, including the role of political myth in shaping collective identities, the ethical dimensions of political action and responsibility, and the theoretical implications of contemporary crises for democratic thought. Contributions also explore the intersections of normativity, ideology, and critique, examining how political theory can respond to and illuminate the challenges of our time. By drawing on diverse philosophical traditions and methodological approaches, this panel fosters a rich dialogue on the principles, tensions, and aspirations that animate political thought.
