Seller's Description:
Minor rubbing. VG., dustwrapper. 24x15cm, xxx, 480 pp, Translated from the French by Amy Jacobs. Series: Mestizo Spaces. Contents: Introduction: the fanatic's truth; Civil society and fanaticism: conjoined histories; Civil society and the city of God; Sword against flail; The painter of the two cities; The mouth of God; The voice of the prophets; The absolute bourgeois; The citizen as Bourgeois; Civil society and civil war; Civil society and the law-governed state; Appendix ["Luther and Calvin applied the term fanatic to those who sought to destroy civil society in order to establish the Kingdom of God, the 'false prophets' and their followers who, early on in the Reformation, began smashing images in churches and rebelling against princes. The author shows that civil society and fanaticism have been consistently present as conjoined notions in Western political thought since the sixteenth century, underlining the link between two principles that are constitutive of that thought: dualism-between the City of God and the earthly city, between civil society and the state-and the validity of representation. In what is both a study of the evolution of the two interrelated concepts and a critique of critiques of representation, the author draws upon an impressive range of works, including work by Aristotle, Baudelaire, Giles of Rome and Philip Melanchthon, Spinoza, Leibniz, and Rousseau, Kant and Marx.
