Justin Pack

Justin Pack studies the political, social, moral and environmental implications of thoughtlessness, especially with regard to exploitation and alienation. His work seeks to understand how the “technocratic paradigm” of modernity functions as an epistemology of ignorance that covers over the exploitation of the environment and human labor that are the foundation of our modern economy. His approach is genealogical and comparative, rooted in Arendt, Critical Theory, and marginalized traditions like Native American, Feminist and Environmental philosophy.
