Description

The relationship between philosophy and the political is as old as philosophy itself. Since Plato's discussion of the Polis in the Republic , the philosophical has also been the political and Vice Versa . Yet today, what would it mean to re-treat this relationship and question the essence of the political philosophically ? Available here in English for the first time, each of these essays by Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy is concerned to reconsider and to reformulate this relationship. They force us to confront the fact that the political has become the unsurpassable horizon of our time. If, today, everything is political, how can we retreat the political on the basis of its retreat from any specificity whatsoever? Drawing on the work of Marx, Freud, Heidegger, Arendt and Derrida, Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy ask how we can reinvent a philosophical concern with the political and how we can retreat the political today. Retreating the Political presents the work of two of the most important continental philosophers in one volume and will interest students of philosophy and contemporary political theory.
