Philosophy of privacy, publicity, power

The course presents a project of a phenomenological philosophy of politics.
From the perspective of phenomenology, politics is an important dimension of the life world in which political actors operate. Therefore, it is worth exploring political action, which is possible only in the public sphere, where freedom and responsibility should prevail, as opposed to the private sphere of mutual dependence. This research should be complemented by a distinction between power and violence.
But the notion of an absolutely free political subject is a dangerous abstraction. It should be complemented by the notion of a “holistic ethos” based on the project of ethos rehabilitation. Accordingly, the importance of the Other for the formation of one’s own political identity becomes clear.
Against this background, the question arises of civilization as the most general form of organization of political space and its transformation into hypercivilization with all the benefits and threats of such a transformation.
