{"product_id":"political-responsibility-antonio-v-zquez-arroyo-9780231174855","title":"Political Responsibility: Responding to Predicaments of Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eScholars in the humanities and social sciences have turned to ethics to theorize politics in what seems to be an increasingly depoliticized age. Yet the move toward ethics has obscured the ongoing value of political responsibility and the vibrant life it represents as an effective response to power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSounding the alarm for those who care about robust forms of civic engagement, this book fights for a new conception of political responsibility that meets the challenges of today's democratic practice. Antonio Y. V痙quez-Arroyo forcefully argues against the notion that modern predicaments of power can only be addressed ethically or philosophically through pristine concepts that operate outside of the political realm. By returning to the political, the individual is reintroduced to the binding principles of participatory democracy and the burdens of acting and thinking as a member of a collective. V痙quez-Arroyo historicizes the ethical turn to better understand its ascendence and reworks Adorno's dialectic of responsibility to reassert the political in contemporary thought and theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonio V痙quez-Arroyo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231174853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231174855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Antonio V痙quez-Arroyo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056691540223,"sku":"9780231174855","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6f50a26-369a-4352-9477-b422998448a7.jpg?v=1685042726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-responsibility-antonio-v-zquez-arroyo-9780231174855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
