Professor Reidar Due
Professor
I am one of the conveners of the MSt in Film Aesthetics and a Fellow in the French Sub-faculty.
In addition to my ongoing interest in philosophical film aesthetics, my research focuses on the interface of ethics and political ideals. I am interested in notions of alienation, dignity and respect in the context of contemporary democracy and in relation to the history of liberal thought and its critics – including in particular the twentieth-century philosophers Hannah Arendt, Georg Lukacs, Jean-Paul Sartre, Hans Blumenberg, Claude Lefort and Jacques Derrida.
