Recenzii
In
this
marvelous
book,
Marder
set
out
to
expose
the
hermeneutic
nature
of
Schmitt's
political
ontology
as
no
one
has
ever
done
before.
Through
a
deconstructive
reading,
Schmitt's
political
philosophy
is
put
in
a
dialogue
with
contemporary
thought,
giving
politics
new
ontological
vitality.
Not
only
Schmitt
scholars
but
also
all
those
interested
in
the
meaning
of
politics
after
deconstruction
will
find
this
book
to
be
an
indispensable
text.
A
genuine
"must
read."
--Gianni
Vattimo
and
Santiago
Zabala,
authors

"Michael Marder's brilliant explication of the philosophical content of Carl Schmitt's political theory is, at the same time, a profound exploration of the very possibility of political philosophy in the wake of phenomenology, existentialism and deconstruction. No one has written more lucidly or insightfully on Schmitt's philosophical standing and on the fundamental problems of the political. Groundless Existence is the new gold standard in Schmitt scholarship and an indispensable point of reference in political philosophy."--Russell Berman, Professor of German Studies and Comparative Literature & Walter A. Haas Professor in the Humanities, Stanford University
Brilliantly revisiting Schmitt's concepts in the context of a political ontology understood within an existential-phenomenological framework, Michael Marder furnishes one of the most powerful, original and interesting reflections on Carl Schmitt's work from a philosophical point of view. --Alexandre Franco de Sá, Professor of Philosophy, University of Coimbra, Portugal
Tracing Schmitt's ideas to their philosophical underpinnings and beyond to their very essence, the human experience, Michael Marder breaks new ground in Schmitt scholarship. -- George Schwab, Professor Emeritus, CUNY
Marder's book is a significant contribution to understanding Schmitt's philosophical underpinnings and political ontology. It facilitates a fresh and innovative conversation about possible politico-philosophical links between Schmitt, phenomenology, existentialism, and deconstructivism.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
An examination of the implicit phenomenological and existential foundations of Carl Schmitt's political philosophy. It claims that Schmitt decisively breaks with the metaphysical tradition and predicates the political on the 'groundless' categories of existence, including risk, decision, and agonism.
