They argue for a Western-inclusive, rather than Western-exclusive, take on what could be called anthropology. Questions the outdated suggestions of Carl Schmitt''s political theology. Builds upon a refined version of Giorgio Agamben''s close-reading of Christian government as management and identifies Western-Christian tensions within jurisprudence . Concludes that what the West''s secular universality is passing off as politics or law is really an attempt to manage its own dwindling primacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Premises and Arguments; Part 1: Religions R Us; 1.
