The Project of Emancipation and the Possibility of Politics, or, What's Wrong with Post-1968 Individualism?

Peter Wagner

EUI, Badia Fiesolana, I-50016 San Domenico di Fiesole, Italy wagner{at}iue.it

The thesis that `1968' resulted in the rise of the individual, on the one hand, and the end of politics, on the other, is critically discussed by interpreting the events of 1968 as a project of emancipation and by distinguishing between the individual and the collective aspects of emancipation.

Key Words: emancipation • Enlightenment • individualism • individualization • politics
