Humanity and the Enemy (eBook, PDF)

How Ethics Can Rid Politics of Violence

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book questions the concept of "the enemy," beginning with Carl Schmitt's famous notion that politics is the relationship of friend and enemy and that humanity is not a political concept. This book deconstructs this notion and views humanity at the center of a type of politics based on ethics.
