Beskrivning
Gavin Rae offers an original approach to sovereign violence by looking at a wide range of thinkers, which he organises into three models. Benjamin, Schmitt, Arendt, Deleuze and Guattari form the radical-juridical perspective; Foucault and Agamben the biopolitical; Derrida the bio-juridical – which Rae argues produces the most nuanced account. Rae engages with new translations of 'The Beast and the Sovereign' and 'The Death Penalty' to show that Derrida offers a radical and alternative angle in which violence is placed between law and life, simultaneously creating and regulating each through the other.

Recensioner i media

Gavin Rae here offers a welcome addition to the philosophical literature on a topic – sovereignty and its relation to violence – that is at the cutting edge of contemporary scholarship in a variety of fields. After carefully articulating several 20th century theorists’ challenges to a law-based model of sovereignty, Rae argues that Derrida’s 'bio-juridical' approach offers an innovative perspective that avoids the problems that he diagnoses in Benjamin, Schmitt, Arendt, Agamben and other theorists.
