Hristov George

George Hristov is a research fellow at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory in Belgrade. He earned his PhD in 2017 from the Department of Political Theory and History of Ideas at the University of Regensburg, with a dissertation titled Politics and Immanence: State and History in Hegel and Deleuze. His primary research interests include ancient political thought, modern contract theories, German idealism, 20th-century political theory, and 20th-century French political thought. His work focuses on exploring alternatives to political theories based on mutual recognition, particularly through the lens of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of becoming. He is currently working on a monograph that examines the phenomenon of belief in modernity from a Deleuze-Guattarian perspective, exploring how our capacity for belief can be expanded through experiences of the sublime, beyond the frameworks of mutual trust implicit in recognition-based relations.
