From the publisher: "The author argues that political writing must be ironic, that it must reflect the gap between the lived actuality of everyday life and the possibility of its ultimate philosophical justification. He presents a theory of the politics of irony and tests this theory through readings of political theory texts and through an analysis of the politics of the contemporary anti-nuclear movement. The result is a sustained argument for the thesis that the Western tradition is unified by an ironic undercurrent of moral and political discourse.". First Printing of the First Edition. Softcover. Fine condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. x, 384pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
