<b>The ethics of intellectual emancipation

Abstract

Based on texts by J. Rancière and matrix concepts such as empowerment and equality, the conditions of the possibility of an ethics of intellectual emancipation are explored and understood as a threshold attitude embodied in a sensitive reason which inaugurates a new rationality regime designated as a system of the possibles. Starting from the axiom l' égalité des intelligences (Rancière) as the founding principle of the emancipation movement, understood as an intermittent and rhizome process (Deleuze), short-circuit generator and escape routes that disrupt the established order of speeches and practices, current paper emphasizes the ethics of intellectual emancipation as a necessary condition, albeit insufficient, to setting up a new political community based on mutual recognition.
