It also traces the history of these ideas, identifying the connections with republicanism and with Greek antiquity. Mark Wenman presents a critical appraisal of the leading contemporary proponents of agonism and, in a series of well-crafted and comprehensive discussions, brings these thinkers into debate with one another, as well as with the post-structuralist and continental theorists who influence them. Wenman draws extensively on Hannah Arendt, and stresses the creative power of human action as augmentation and revolution. He also reworks Arendt's discussion of reflective judgement to present an alternative style of agonism, one where the democratic contest is linked to the emergence of a militant form of cosmopolitanism, and to prospects for historical change in the context of neoliberal globalisation.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 470gGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & Politics, Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
