Opis

Guided by the contention that different conceptions of the political are committed to specific conceptions of subjectivity while different conceptions of subjectivity have different political implications, the essays in this collection explore these notions and their connection.

Recenzje

"This book offers an exciting new take on questions of the political and the subject, and the intersection at which they reciprocally constitute each other. It goes beyond the established post-structuralist and deconstructionist approaches that have dominated past discussions, holding together an array of heterogeneous perspectives and maintaining the contest among them. With contributions ranging across modern and contemporary political theory, political theology, political psychology, and more, this collection will speak to students from across humanities and social science disciplines where the question of the subject-political relation remains central."—Nathan Widder, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
