Resistance, Disillusionment, Exiting: The Process of Individual Praxis of Resistance

The paper traces the arc of an individual praxis of resistance from its inception to its final consequences. The focus is on the individual, as well as her relationship with the wider social context. In the first part, the concept of resistance is defined, followed by an analysis through the philosophical framework of Nozick’s thought experiment and Adam Kolber’s reformulation of it, wherein the terms “disillusionment” and “exiting” are introduced. The second part focuses on the collective aspect of “exiting”, on its structure and the challenges which they present. The paper is conceived as a general outline of individual praxis within resistance.
