Hans Stauffacher

Switzerland/Germany
MA in Philosophy
Freie Universität Berlin
Hans Stauffacher received his MA in philosophy from Freie Universität Berlin and is about to submit his PhD thesis on F.W.J. Schelling’s System of Transcendental Idealism. He was research associate at the Collaborative Research Centre "Aesthetic Experience and the Dissolution of Artistic Limits" where he worked on concepts of genius in 19th century philosophy, and is now teaching at the Institute for the Study of Religion at FU Berlin.

His research and teaching interests encompass 19th and 20th century continental philosophy, concepts of inspiration, genius, the unconscious, creativity and experimentation, self-conceptions of philosophy after the “end of metaphysics” and the possibilities and limits of non-universalist philosophy, as well as the genealogy and potential of notions of emancipation and critique. He is working on a book preliminarily titled (Im)Possibilities of Critique and Emancipation: On Theory as Liberating Practice.
