The Hegelian-Marxist idea of alienation fell out of favor during
the post-metaphysical rejection of humanism and essentialist views
of human nature. In this book Jaeggi draws on phenomenological
analyses grounded in modern conceptions of agency, along with
recent work in the analytical tradition, to reconceive of
alienation as the absence of a meaningful relationship to oneself
and others, which manifests itself 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, which have broad implications for
issues of justice. 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.
