Few terms are currently as polarizing as "identity politics". For some, it stands for justified demands for recognition and participation, for others for division, sensitivity or cancel culture.
In his new book "Identity Politics", Prof. Dr. Rieger-Ladich examines the philosophical foundations and social misunderstandings of this debate. The lecture asks: What is behind the term? Why does it trigger so many - and what could a new start for emancipatory identity politics look like?
