Martin Leet examines how the often ambiguous and sometimes destabilizing aftereffects of knowledge have prompted a renewed interest in aesthetics and individuality in parts of contemporary political theory. He contends that this renewal is necessary and desirable, making his case through a multi-faceted critique of Jurgen Habermas. He also engages a wide range of thinkers and traditions, including Nietzsche, Emerson, Weber, the ancient Greeks, and the more recent contributions of Judith Butler, William Connolly, and George Kateb. By focusing on debates about democracy and citizenship, Leet develops a distinctive understanding of the relations between politics, aesthetics, and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Leet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 079146010X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791460108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Martin Leet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453388632319,"sku":"9780791460108","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e73dae5-70bd-493c-b97c-4d8b297bb1f9.jpg?v=1777299984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aftereffects-of-knowledge-in-modernity-martin-leet-9780791460108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
