With incomparable erudition and breathtaking sprezzatura, Miguel Vatter lays out the stakes of political theology for democratic legitimacy. Divine Democracy offers brilliant readings of Schmitt, Voegelin, Maritain, Kantorowicz and Habermas and shows why their views on religion and politics resonate today.
Miguel Vatter is Professor of Politics at Flinders University, Australia. He is author of The Republic of the Living: Biopolitics and the Critique of Civil Society.
