Political Theology (eBook, PDF)

Demystifying the Universal

Beschreibung

Can secularisation in the legal and political domains settle modernity's scores with religion?

Anton Schütz and Marinos Diamantides provide a genealogical mapping of the universalisation/secularisation thesis that is both widely saluted and mistrusted as master narrative of modern political and normative history.

• Questions the outdated suggestions of Carl Schmitt's political theology
• Builds upon a refined version of Giorgio Agamben's close-reading of Christian government as management
• Identifies Western-Christian tensions within jurisprudence
• Concludes that what the West's secular universality is passing off as ''politics'' or ''law'' is really an attempt to manage its own dwindling primacy
