Philosopher and political theorist Lea Ypi on what a new socialism has to look like In her Benjamin Lectures "What is moral socialism?" the political theorist Lea Ypi is rethinking socialism by bringing together both Kantian thought on freedom and Marxian social critique. Lea joins Dissens to talk about the trauma of stalinism, that she experienced growing up in Albania, and what going beyond capitalism should look like. Socialism today, argues Ypi, has to be a radicalization of liberalism and not its elimination. +++ Alle Infos zum Dissens Podcast auf www.dissenspodcast.de Mach...

Lea Ypi – Die Architektonik der Vernunft
„Was kann ich wissen?“ In seinem erkenntnistheoretischen Hauptwerk – der „Kritik der reinen Vernunft“ – hat sich Immanuel Kant auf 800 Seiten mit dieser Frage auseinandergesetzt. Kants Antwort, vereinfacht gesagt: Die „Dinge an sich“ – soll heißen: die Dinge, wie sie wirklich sind – sind für den Menschen wissenschaftlich nicht erkennbar. Objektiv erkennbar seien nur die „Erscheinungen“ der Dinge. Und diese „Erscheinungen“ würden durch die Anschauungsformen von Raum und Zeit und durch bestimmte Kategorien, die dem menschlichen Denkvermögen von Natur aus eingeschrieben sind, determiniert. Das wahre Wesen der Dinge, so der Königsberger Philosoph, sei dem Menschen unzugänglich. Zitat Kant: Was die Dinge an sich sein mögen, w...

Lea Ypi on mothers, the motherland and the cruelties of UK immigration
In November 2022 Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, told parliament that the south coast of England faced “an invasion” of small boats. “If Labour were in charge,” she said, “they would be allowing all the Albanian criminals to come to this country.” Since then, others have suggested that the nearly 200 unaccompanied children found to have gone missing in the UK were Albanians “willingly joining” organised gangs. In this moving and often funny personal piece, Lea Ypi reflects on life as an Albanian in the UK and the everyday cruelties of the country’s immigration system – from having to share romantic...

Lea Ypi: Ideas of freedom across a historical rupture
In this wide-ranging conversation, Lea Ypi discusses her new memoir Free: Coming of Age at the End of History and how the people who populate its pages help her connect historical experiences with philosophical thought; how she experienced and dealt with the rupture of 1990 that forced her to reassess her childhood; how that rupture placed her country, Albania, on a seemingly new trajectory with liberal-sounding concepts soon filling the conceptual void that emerged; how the new regime violently collapsed in 1997, just when she was about to graduate from secondary school; and how she relates to the overlapping ideas of freedom in...
