Vulnerability and Critical Theory

Identifying contemporary developments on the theme of vulnerability within critical theory, Ferrarese seeks to reconstruct an idea of vulnerability that enables an articulation of the political and demonstrates how it is socially produced. She covers the vulnerable and the geometer: contemporary uses of the concept of vulnerability in the social sciences, contemporary moral philosophy: three models of vulnerability and three accompanying problems, vulnerability according to critical theory: recognition and normative expectations, and perspectives: thinking vulnerability and the political through together.
