Opis

Through an examination of the works of Landauer, Voegelin, Weil and Havel, this book draws on the philosophy of presence - a mode of thought so far excluded from political theory - showing how liminality and the experience of ‘in-betweenness’ can be brought to bear on the contemporary discourse of crisis in politics.
