{"product_id":"political-theory-and-the-enlarged-stephen-acreman-9781138667389","title":"Political Theory and the Enlarged Mentality","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Stephen Acreman follows the development and reception of a hitherto under-analyzed concept central to modern and postmodern political theory: the Kantian \u003ci\u003eein erweiterte Denkungsart\u003c\/i\u003e, or enlarged mentality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the enlarged mentality plays a major role in a number of key texts underpinning contemporary democratic theory, including works by Arendt, Gadamer, Habermas, and Lyotard, this is the first in-depth study of the concept encompassing and bringing together its full range of expressions. A number of attempts to place the enlarged mentality at the service of particular ideals-the politics of empathy, of consensus, of agonistic contest, or of moral righteousness-are challenged and redirected. In its exploration of the enlarged mentality, the book asks what it means to assume a properly political stance, and, in giving as the answer 'facing reality together', it uncovers a political theory attentive to the facts and events that concern us, and uniquely well suited to the ecological politics of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Acreman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138667382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138667389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Stephen Acreman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112790700287,"sku":"9781138667389","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7749a588-29af-4701-9e26-8725f3e1585c.jpg?v=1769610960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-theory-and-the-enlarged-stephen-acreman-9781138667389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
