The Hegelian-Marxist idea of alienation fell out of favor after the
postmetaphysical rejection of humanism and essentialist views of
human nature. In this book Rahel Jaeggi draws on the Hegelian
philosophical tradition, phenomenological analyses grounded in
modern conceptions of agency, and recent work in the analytical
tradition to reconceive alienation as the absence of a meaningful
relationship to oneself and others, which manifests in feelings of
helplessness and the despondent acceptance of ossified social roles
and expectations. A revived approach to alienation helps critical
social theory engage with phenomena such as meaninglessness,
isolation, and indifference. By severing alienation's link to a
problematic conception of human essence while retaining its
social-philosophical content, Jaeggi provides resources for a
renewed critique of social pathologies, a much-neglected concern in
contemporary liberal political philosophy. Her work revisits the
arguments of Rousseau, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger, placing
them in dialogue with Thomas Nagel, Bernard Williams, and Charles
Taylor.
