Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. No hay nada que temer porque todo es peligroso. Solo este aprendizaje podra quizas reconciliarnos con la prodigiosa amplitud del acto de pensamiento.El peligro nos rodea, habita en nuestro quehacer cotidiano y nos angustia cuando se nos escapa. Ante esto solo buscamos una cosa: seguridad. Pero este reclamo no proviene de nosotros, abrumados por la realidad que nos sobrepasa. El miedo es ante todo un vasto proceso politico de definicion, en el que lo que esta en juego es ni mas ni menos la posibilidad de una distincion entre lo pensable y lo impensable.En un texto lleno de virtuosismo, en el que combina musica y derecho romano, filosofia e historia, psicoanalisis y teologia, Laurent de Sutter nos recuerda hasta que punto temer el peligro es hacerse eco del temor de un poder para el que la seguridad es la mejor manera de perpetuarse.Elogio del peligro permite mantener las puertas abiertas a la posibilidad y al registro de lo probable. Es preciso, aprender a vivir con el peligro cada dia, explorando y ampliando nuestros propios limites, para poner en entredicho las fuerzas soberanas que en pro de la seguridad nos constrinen. Nunca es a nosotros a los que el peligro debe espantar, sino a los que les gustaria administrar nuestro mundo como lo hace un propietario con su casa, de la que seriamos simplemente ocupantes ciegos e impotentes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Law is the most sacred fetish of our time. From radicals to conservatives, there is no militant, activist or thinker who would consider doing without it. But the history of our fascination with law is long and complex, and reaches deeper into our culture than we might think. In After Law, Laurent de Sutter takes us on a journey to uncover the sources of our fascination. He shows that at a certain moment in our history a choice was made to treat law as a decisive feature of civilization, but this choice was neither obvious nor necessary. Other political, social, religious or cultural possibilities could have been chosen instead from ancient Egypt to Mesopotamia, from medieval Japan to China, from Islam to Judaism, other cultures have devised sophisticated tools to help people live together without having to deal with norms, rules and principles. This is a lesson worth reflecting on, especially at a time when the rule of law and the functioning of justice are increasingly showing their sinister side and their impotence. Is there life beyond law? "Why law may be less important than we think"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We have become superheroes. Nothing can resist us anymore: not persons, ideas, facts, realities, or beings. We owe our superhuman strength to a tool we have taken up that submits everything to the scrutiny of our judgment: critique. After its first formulation at the end of the sixteenth century, the project of critique spread from one sphere to another until it became almost universal: we have all of us been transformed by our equal capacity to judge, approve, and reject. If modernity is defined as the journey we have taken to move away from the myths and dogmas of the past, then critique, with its emphasis on reason and the autonomy of judgment, has been the lynchpin of modernity. Today, however, the critical project shows signs of exhaustion. We are beginning to realize that being right is useless, now that everyone can lay claim to the same power as we can. The democratization of reason, proceeding alongside the development of critique through modernity, has produced a stalemate: for every judgment that we pronounce, there is another opposing one with grounds as solid as our own, and the same right to assert itself. Rather than elevating us above the world, critique has mired us in an impasse of claim and counter-claim. The age of critique is now over, argues Laurent de Sutter, and in its place we need to develop a postcritical form of thinking, one he calls superweak, a form of thinking based not on establishing grounds, pronouncing judgment, and determining duty, but on welcoming possibility, exploring what the world has to offer, and cultivating a vertiginous appreciation for moving within a world less grounded and less bounded by the terms of critical reason.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
