About this title

Synopsis

P. is a professional philosopher whose Parliamentary seat allows him to observe real-life politics after having spent so much of his life studying its theory, but he soon realizes that the realpolitik hardly corresponds to his preconceived notions of politics. His only ally in negotiating this disheartening conundrum is his alter ego, the ghost, with whom he spends the duration of this book discussing the tensions and maladjustments brought about by this contrast.

 

P. es un filósofo de profesión cuya obtención de un escaño en el Parlamento le permite observar en persona cómo es en la realidad aquella política a la que ha dedicado tantas horas de estudio teórico. Desde su posición se da cuenta de que la realpolitik apenas corresponde con las prenociones que albergaba de la política. Como único aliado para negociar este abismo, P. se apoya en su alter ego, el fantasma, con quien comenta y discute a lo largo del libro la fricción o el desajuste producidos por este contraste.
