Our quest for a politics that is free, moral and rational has, somehow, made it hard for us to \u003ci\u003emove\u003c\/i\u003e, to change our positions, to visit places and perspectives that are not our own, and to embrace reality. This book addresses this crisis with a model of public reason based in a new aesthetic reading of Hannah Arendt's political theory. It begins by telling the story of Arendt's engagement with the \u003ci\u003eAugenblicke\u003c\/i\u003e of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Jaspers, Heidegger, Kafka and Benjamin, in order to identify her own aesthetic Moment. Josefson then explicates this Moment, what he calls the \u003ci\u003efreedom of the beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e, as a third face of freedom on par with Arendt's familiar freedoms of action and the life of the mind. He shows how this freedom, rooted in Jaspers's phenomenology and a non-metaphysical reading of Kant, serves to redress the world-alienation that was a uniting theme across Arendt's works. Ultimately, this volume aims to challenge orthodox accounts of Arendtian politics, presenting Arendt's aesthetic politics as a radically new model of republicanism and as an alternative to political liberal, deliberative and agonistic models of public reason. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Josefson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030186911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030186913\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Jim Josefson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073518170367,"sku":"9783030186913","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9316ac08-86cc-4191-ad53-53f638bb56e0.jpg?v=1685448292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hannah-arendts-aesthetic-politics-jim-josefson-9783030186913","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
