{"product_id":"januss-gaze-carlo-galli-9780822360322","title":"Janus's Gaze: Essays on Carl Schmitt","description":"First published in Italian in 2008 and appearing here in English for the first time, \u003ci\u003eJanus's Gaze\u003c\/i\u003e is the culmination of Carlo Galli's ongoing critique of the work of Carl Schmitt. Galli argues that Schmitt's main accomplishment, as well as the thread that unifies his oeuvre, is his construction of a genealogy of the modern that explains how modernity's compulsory drive to achieve order is both necessary and impossible. Galli addresses five key problems in Schmitt's thought: his relation to the state, the significance of his concept of political theology, his readings of Machiavelli and Spinoza, his relation to Leo Strauss, and his relevance for contemporary political theory. Galli emphasizes the importance of passing \u003ci\u003ethrough\u003c\/i\u003e Schmitt's thought-and, more important, \u003ci\u003ebeyond\u003c\/i\u003e Schmitt's thought-if we are to achieve insight into the problems of the global age. Adam Sitze provides an illuminating introduction to Schmitt and Galli's reading of him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlo Galli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822360322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822360322\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 11\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Carlo Galli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926539927807,"sku":"9780822360322","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3d9bc424-763b-4dc5-9b11-2acfc9bb9224.jpg?v=1681083634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/januss-gaze-carlo-galli-9780822360322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
