The book is organized around \u003ci\u003eequaliberty\u003c\/i\u003e, a term coined by Balibar to connote the tension between the two ideals of modern democracy: equality (social rights and political representation) and liberty (the freedom citizens have to contest the social contract). He finds the tension between these different kinds of rights to be ingrained in the constitution of the modern nation-state and the contemporary welfare state. At the same time, he seeks to keep rights discourse open, eschewing natural entitlements in favor of a deterritorialized citizenship that could be expanded and invented anew in the age of globalization. Deeply engaged with other thinkers, including Arendt, Ranci re, and Laclau, he posits a theory of the polity based on social relations. In \u003ci\u003eEqualiberty\u003c\/i\u003e Balibar brings both the continental and analytic philosophical traditions to bear on the conflicted relations between humanity and citizenship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Étienne Balibar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822355647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822355649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Étienne Balibar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926537863423,"sku":"9780822355649","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dc8cd744-fb40-42a1-8a2f-a79887f08ffb.jpg?v=1681083622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/equaliberty-tienne-balibar-9780822355649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
