Description
Book SynopsisThis second volume of a new series of essays from the archive of the British journal Radical Philosophy reflects upon the seemingly inextricable connection of philosophy – in Europe and beyond – to discourses of the nation: its shifting historical meanings and functions, implications and consequences, political significance and limits. The editors, Austin Gross, Matt Hare and Marie Louise Krogh, are PhD candidates in the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP), Kingston University London.
