Nancy and the Political

Focussed around three core themes - capitalism, the metaphysics of democracy and aesthetics - these 13 essays emphasise the potential of Nancy's political thought and situate it within a broader intellectual context. The essays engage with Badiou, Ranciere, Foucault, Agamben and Lefort. An essential read for anyone interested in current trends in political philosophy, aesthetics, critical theory and social and political thought.
