Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"For Esposito, thought does not just fight-it is the fight itself. Esposito moves on the basis of a fundamental ontology of war, which marks what a previous tradition would have called "the unity of being." The Origin of the Political elaborates implications of this, not only through its masterful conceptual analysis and through its insights into the two thinkers it studies and critiques, but also because, as it makes explicit the stakes of the impolitical approach, it also ruins so many of the foundations of modern political thought and prepares the way for its fundamental renewal." -- -Alberto Moreiras Texas A&M University
