Truth and Judgement at the Limits of Liberalism

Wenn und Aber – Philosophische Fragen zur Zeit

Dorit Geva

Gartensaal, Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities Essen (KWI), Goethestr. 31, 45128 Essen

This lecture explores how neoliberalism has eroded liberal institutions of judgment, transforming the ways truth is produced and politically mobilized. As institutional mediation weakens, truth increasingly appears in moralised and quasi-theological forms of exposure, testimony, and conscience rather than through established procedures of institutional adjudication. The talk examines what this shift means for contemporary politics and for the future of liberalism.
