Recenzii
[D]eeply engaging.
Joan Cocks is the best writer working today in political theory. This book, striking evidence of a heartful mind, charts the abundant human costs of casting sovereignty as freedom and calls instead for a turn to 'natural freedom' - the freedom to 'indulge in all the sensory delights to be had in the physical world around us, including the delights of meeting natural life forms that are entrancing because they are neither like us nor for us.' This is a brilliant, inspiring work that I read with pleasure in one sitting.
Reflecting on the twentieth century, you may have suspected that freedom through sovereignty was a snare and delusion. If so, this is the book that will 'nail' it for you. Joan Cocks gives us a lucid, original, and carefully argued demonstration of how the quest for sovereign freedom in the United States and Israel entailed, necessarily, the dispossession and erasure of other life worlds and cultural identities. This is political history and philosophy at its most convincing.
In the best tradition of political thinking and engagement, this book is a deep meditation on the concept of sovereignty. It helps us understand why this concept and the actions that follow from it need to be jettisoned. With sustained moral seriousness, it shows how the idea of mastering peoples and places is now a fantasy with dire implications for human beings and for the earth.
