WiSe 23/24: Philosophy of Ambivalence (Englisch)
Elena Bernal Rey
Kommentar
Ambivalence is defined as a state of mind where an agent is torn between two opposed courses of action, and where he is unable to choose between them. It can also be defined as the state of having two mental or behavioral attitudes towards the same object. In this course, we will explore the nature and effects of ambivalence and the way it relates to topics such as agency, freedom, rationality, knowledge, autonomy, well-being, feminist philosophy... The exploration of those topics in relation to ambivalence will be guided by questions like: does ambivalence threaten autonomy? Is ambivalence irrational? Does ambivalencne have negative consequences on the well-being of a person? Or, simply, is ambivalence something negative? Is there a feminist interpretation of ambivalence?
The course will follow the most recent philosophical debates about ambivalence, by focusing on the most relevant papers on the topic. That way we will be able to understand the different arguments in defense of ambivalence, but also the biggest critiques to ambivalence under the light of its threats to autonomy, agency or identity.
