Fuelled by consumerism, individualism and corporate greed, the decline of social cohesion is a crucial problem of our time. Notions of collectivity and identity are central to how we orient ourselves to achieve social change.
Hegel Summer School 2008 takes on debates in critical philosophy around the meaning of solidarity and community, and the implications for social movements today.
