Profile
Tim Scherer has been a research assistant at the Chair of Political Theory and History of Ideas since October 2024. He studied Integrative Social Sciences and Democratic Politics and Communication in Kaiserslautern and Trier. In his master's thesis, he examined the theoretical consistency of Chantal Mouffe's agonal model of democracy in the context of her radical democratic critique of growth. The dissertation project aims to develop an agonal perspective on the climate crisis as an exceptional state of individual responsibility with the help of Bonnie Honig's writings.
