Stultification, emancipation, Brexit and Jacques Ranciere

当代哲学家认为，解释或某些形式的解释会导致愚蠢，即认为人们没有独立思考和主动性的能力，从而抑制了自我解放的努力。超越了钱伯斯和科尼利森等批评家的批评，本文在英国北部工人阶级投票支持英国脱欧的背景下，调查了愚蠢的性质和原因，以及它与解放的关系，这一事件导致许多评论家认为这些选民是无知的，让其他人感到沮丧。为了加深对愚钝的理解，本文将朗西埃的工作与定性社会研究进行了对话。

Contemporary philosophers have argued that explanation, or some forms of explanation, leadto stultification, namely the assumption that people are incapable of independent thought andinitiative which inhibits self-emancipatory efforts. Going beyond critics such as Chambers andProposal Summary: Cornelissen, this dissertation investigates the nature and cause of stultification and its relation to emancipation in the context of Northern English working classes voting for Brexit, an eventI which led many commentators to regard such voters as ignorant, to the dismay of others. In I order to develop a deeper understanding of stultification, this dissertation puts Ranciere's work into dialogue with qualitative social research.
