James Wiley's book takes the "next step," from criticizing contemporary political theory, to showing what a more "politics-centered" political theory would look like by exploring the meaning and value of politics in the writings of Max Weber, Carl Schmitt, Paul Ricoeur, Hannah Arendt, Sheldon Wolin, Claude Lefort, and Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. These political theorists all use the concept of "the political" to explain the value of politics and defend it from its detractors. They represent state-centered, republic-centered and society-centered conceptions of politics, as well as realist, authoritarian, idealist, republican, populist and radical democratic traditions of political thought. This book compares these theorists and traditions of "the political" in order to defend politics from its critics and to contribute to the development of a politics-centered political theory. --Publisher description. 650 0 $a Political science $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a 89.06 political philosophy. $2 bcl 650 7 $a Political science $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069819 650 7 $a Das Politische $2 gnd 650 7 $a Politische Theorie $2 gnd 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE254140214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
