James Tully

To Think and Act Differently

Herausgegeben: Livingston, Alexander

Beschreibung

James Tully's scholarship has profoundly transformed the study of political thought by reconstructing the practice of political theory as a democratising and diversifying dialogue between scholars and citizens. Across his writings on topics ranging from the historical origins of property, constitutionalism in diverse societies, imperialism and globalisation, and global citizenship in an era of climate crisis, Tully has developed a participatory mode of political theorising and political change called public philosophy. This practice-oriented approach to political thought and its active role in the struggles of citizens has posed fundamental challenges to modern political thought and launched new lines of inquiry in the study of constitutionalism, democracy and citizenship, settler colonialism, comparative political theory, nonviolence, and ecological sustainability. James Tully: To Think and Act Differently collects classic, contemporary, and previously unpublished writings from across Tully's four decades of scholarship to shed new light on these dialogues of reciprocal elucidation with citizens, scholars, and the history of political thought, and the ways Tully has enlarged our understanding of democracy, diversity, and the task of political theory.

Rezensionen

"This collection offers a superbly curated selection of, and guide to, the work of James Tully. Alex Livingston expertly charts the evolving trajectory of one of the most creative political theorists of the 21st century from the exploration of imperialism in support of indigenous struggles to engagement with global climate change, democratic sustainability, and the ethics of non-violence. This is a landmark volume for understanding the past, present and future of Tully's public philosophy and the transformation of political theory it accomplishes."

David Owen, University of Southampton, UK.

"This volume brings together both classical and unpublished contributions by James Tully that exemplify how political theory can respond in deeply dialogical and transformative ways to the challenges and struggles of our time. It offers an excellent overview of the eminently practical and genuinely political public philosophy Tully has developed over the last decades and documents the path-breaking force of his continuous efforts to straddle the gaps between theory and practice as well as between diverse traditions of acting and thinking politically. The result is a less parochial, more expansive and profoundly democratic vision of the world we both inescapably share and need to learn to inhabit together."
