Politics of Friendship in Plato and
Aristotle

Politics of Friendship in Plato and Aristotle

Political Philosophy and Public Purpose

This book proposes an original reading of Foucault’s political thought. Far from setting aside the question of the State in order to focus on the relationships of power “from below”, the Foucauldian approach offers a radical anti-substantialist theory of the State. Concepts such as biopolitics, discipline, pastoral power, and governmentality serve as tools for understanding the statization of power relations. Contrary to some of Foucault's own statements, Skornicki highlights the elective affinities between genealogy and sociology, which enable an in-depth dialogue with Marxism, Max Weber, Norbert Elias, Edward P. Thompson, among others. Unexpectedly, the analytics of power appears thereby as a corrosive and productive science of the State. The author meticulously reconstructs, drawing on Foucault's extensive body of work, how his famous 'microphysics of power' fits into a broader genealogy of the modern State—namely, the processes of political monopolization that have shaped the so-called Leviathan from the Middle Ages to the present. The State thus emerges not as the coldest of all cold monsters, nor simply as a vast apparatus of repression, but rather as both the product and the agent of multiple governmentalities, diverse rationalities, and various religious tendencies—ranging from the modern rule of law to totalitarianism and neoliberal bureaucracy. This is not just a new book about Foucault. It is a book about the State and the enduring possibility of theorizing it—immersed once more in the caustic waters of genealogy.Arnault Skornicki is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Paris Nanterre, France. He is the author of &nbsp;L'économiste, la cour et la patrie: L'économie politique dans la France des Lumières (2011) and La nouvelle Histoire des idées politiques (with Jérôme Tournadre, 2024). &nbsp;

“It is hard to believe that George Grant died over thirty years ago. He was the foremost combination of personality and intellect of his age. A commanding presence, he led many Canadians, and others, to a deeper understanding of their country and the world. This fine collection of original essays reminds us that we need his philosophical guidance as strongly now as we did when he published Lament for a Nation sixty years ago.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;- William Christian, biographer and friend. Author, George Grant: A Biography, Editor Selected Letters, Time as History, Philosophy in the Mass Age, The George Grant Reader (with Sheila Grant).

“George Grant was one of the most important and insightful Canadian thinkers of the 20th&nbsp;century.&nbsp;However, his ideas about nationalism, technology and the role of the university are more important now than ever. This volume of essays reinvigorates Grant as a contemporary thinker both of and ahead of his time.”

-&nbsp; David Edward Tabachnick, Nipissing University. Author of The Great Reversal: How We Let Technology Take Control of the Planet &nbsp;

George Grant (1918-1988) was one of Canada’s foremost public philosophers. Though his thought arose out of reflection on the history of political philosophy, pressing political concerns were never far from view. He was particularly adept at locating the causes of political developments in philosophical movements that were centuries in the making. This book reassesses his ideas in light of philosophical and political developments of recent decades, including the resurgence of nationalism, criticisms of globalization and technocracy, and the ideological realignments having a particularly noticeable effect on right-wing politics. The contemporary reader of Grant is thus able to reflect on his broader criticisms of modernity from within a slightly different historical articulation of modernity. Though George Grant died in 1988, the philosophical themes in his work remain relevant into the 21st&nbsp;century.

Tyler Chamberlain&nbsp;lectures in political science and philosophy at various institutions including Trinity Western University and Kwantlen Polytechnic University. His primary research interests are early modern political theory and Canadian political thought. He earned his Ph.D in Political Science from Carleton University in 2018.

Reading George Grant in the 21st Century

This book analyses EU and Member State decision-making through a constructivist perspective and claims that a kind of latent, intellectual “phantom war” is going on in Western societies. This war is fought through social practices, political debates, and policy choices for and against the values and ideals of the Enlightenment. The book accurately describes how the values of the Enlightenment and a contrary tradition, the anti-Enlightenment tradition, shape and reshape law and public policy choices in Europe, both at the level of the European Union, and its member states. The hidden war among historical phantoms affects European integration, the values, practices, and policies (including the legal background) of democracy, and the rule of law in our societies. These traditions also affect how we think about humanism and universalism, so they affect EU policies on refugees and other migrants, the role of rationality in public decision-making, and the weakening and defense of checks and balances, only to mention some crucial examples.Tamas Dezso Ziegler is&nbsp;Associate Professor in the Department of International Relations and European Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences,&nbsp;Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary.

Die DDR-Philosophie wurde in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten im akademischen und öffentlichen Diskurs weitgehend tabuisiert. Dieses Buch unternimmt eine Revision und kritische Aufarbeitung dieser Verdeckungsgeschichte.
Die Autor:innen bieten ein differenziertes Porträt der DDR-Philosophie. Mit speziellem Fokus auf Halle/Saale rekonstruieren sie deren Schwerpunkte der Philosophie in der DDR und auch die der Wendejahre sowohl historisch als auch systematisch. Dabei verbinden sich analytische Passagen mit narrativen Auszügen und Zeitzeugenberichten. Auch eine kommentierte Auswahl an Originaltexten ist aufgenommen. Die Revision und Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit erweist sich als höchst aktuell und relevant.

«Die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht»

Populism, a significant phenomenon in today’s liberal democracies, deserves in-depth analysis, and here is the most comprehensive book on populism recently, covering the Politics of Populism as well as the Economics of Populism and What to Do About It.&nbsp; So far, the discussion has suffered from the fact that social scientists critical of capitalism have used populism as a new opportunity to rail against the market economy or that populism has been seen as an understandable “cultural backlash” against the excesses of green and left-wing activists.&nbsp; Neither approach points to a realistic solution.&nbsp; Heiko J. Starossom’s analysis, presented in his book, boldly departs from the traditional approach, offering a fresh and enlightening perspective.&nbsp; He examines populism from an interdisciplinary point of view, not just focusing on the economy but also including cultural and psychological aspects, leaving the ideological left-right scheme behind.&nbsp; One way to address a problem is to eliminate its causes.&nbsp; In the “Politics of Populism,” he identifies three leading political causes: “cartel parties” or the convergence of the major political parties, the latent authoritarian tendency of a significant proportion of the population, and the loss of established status–a concept that refers to the erosion of traditional social hierarchies and norms.&nbsp; In the context of the “Economics of Populism,” possible economic triggers of populism are unemployment and pressure on wages due to globalization or technological progress and economic inequality.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there may be no easy solution to the principal political and economic drivers of populism.&nbsp; The answer, thus, lies in a revitalized philosophy that champions the meaning in life and places the community at its center.&nbsp; Strengthening human relationships in family and community is perhaps the most critical source of meaning in life and could be a promising solution worth trying.&nbsp; &nbsp;The AuthorHeiko J. Starossom, an adjunct professor at the University of Bremen, Germany, divides his time between Naples, Florida, and Bremen, Germany. &nbsp;

Politics and Economics of Populism, and What to Do About It

From Populism to People

This book explores the relevance of Sartrean existentialism to the contemporary socio-political landscape, with particular reference to his early novel Nausea and the concepts of bad faith and authenticity outlined in his major philosophical work Being and Nothingness. In an era where political authoritarianism has asserted itself so powerfully internationally and climate crisis has revealed the shortcomings of the political class so sharply, Stuart Sim argues that existentialism has much to offer as a worldview in addressing such issues. The sense of a world order falling apart connects us strongly to Sartre's situation in the Europe of the 1930s and 40s, when fascism was in the ascendant and human rights under severe threat as a direct consequence. To read Sartre's work through these phenomena is to realise the renewed importance of key existentialist concepts to the current geopolitical situation.Stuart Sim is a retired Professor of Critical Theory at Northumbria University, having previously worked for the Open University and the University of Sunderland. Recent publications include Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year and Covid-19 (Palgrave, 2023). He is a Fellow of the English Association.

Palgrave Perspectives on Process Philosophy

“Kwapi¿ska makes the compelling case that a revitalised philosophy of nature (drawn from Schelling and Whitehead) is the much-needed shift in our habits of thought that can undermine the mechanistic materialism underpinning capitalist dynamics of self-destruction. If you have followed Stiegler and Hui on similar terrain, then pick up this book and add it to your reading list.”
—Dr Iain MacKenzie, University of Kent, Kent, UK
This book demonstrates how the totalization of mechanistic materialism is inherent to global capitalism and how this totalization, coupled with techno-theism (the belief that technology will save us as a universal political project) and growth-mania (the belief in economic growth as a remedy to all socio-political issues), leads to the exhaustion of mind and nature. This book is an extensive examination of how the conceptualization of the relationship between thought and matter is at the core of philosophies of nature, philosophies of technology, and theories of political economy, and of the reasons why we must urgently rethink this relationship. &nbsp;Kwapi¿ska argues that we must dig deep into our intellectual habits to enable noo- and bio- diversity and resist the totalizing tendencies of global capitalism. The book calls for the diversification of methods in social sciences, and the incorporation of process perspectives, to deal with the fact that orthodox ontologies and methods have failed to predict and manage consecutive economic and socio-political crises.
Kamila Kwapi¿ska is associated with the Centre for Critical Thought, and a Visiting Academic in the School of Economics, Politics and International Relations, University of Kent, Canterbury.

Im Juni 2012 feiern wir nicht nur den 300. Geburtstag von Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), des neben Kant und Locke vielleicht wichtigsten Philosophen der Neuzeit. Es jährt sich auch das Erscheinen des politischen Hauptwerkes Rousseaus: »Vom Gesellschaftsvertrag oder Prinzipien des Staatsrechts« (»Du Contrat Social ou Principes du Droit Politique«), das 1762 in Amsterdam erschien und sogleich verboten wurde. Der »Gesellschaftsvertrag« gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Texten der Aufklärung und wird vielfach als Gründungstext moderner Demokratietheorien und Wegbereiter der Französischen Revolution gesehen. Seine berühmten Grundideen sind: Die menschliche Gemeinschaft beruht auf einem Vertrag, dessen Voraussetzung der sogenannte Gemeinwille ist (»volonté générale«). Dieser ist mehr als die Summe der Einzelinteressen, sondern zielt auf das Wohl aller und ist unfehlbar. Durch den Vertrag werden die Bürger als Adressaten der Gesetze zugleich deren Autoren. Das ist die Geburtsstunde der Volkssouveränität! Der Band bringt Rousseaus Text in durchgesehener Übersetzung. Der Kommentar von Robin Celikates erschließt den Text historisch und systematisch und beleuchtet die enorme Wirkungsgeschichte, die seit Erscheinen des Textes vor 250 Jahren bis in die Gegenwart ungebrochen ist.
