In this book, Pablo Bustinduy persuasively argues that political universalism emerged from both the developments of Newtonian science and the formulation of the modern philosophy of the State. In the metaphysics of an open, empty, abstract and absolute space, Bustinduy suggests, the universalist project of modern politics found its logical model and foundation. There, the anxiety of a dislocated world was overcome, and the ontology of modern physics found a specific political expression that, despite being besieged by multiple crises, still animates our political imagination. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy offering a political reading of early modern philosophy of space, \u003cem\u003eSpace and Political Universalism in Early Modern Physics and Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the connections between the logical development of early modern science, the contemporary elaborations of the philosophy of the State, and the historical articulations of the Westphalian system, early capitalist social formations, and the European colonial project. In doing so, it offers a powerful reflection on how we might detach democracy from the 'perilous metaphysics' of infinite space that has engendered political violence and domination, positing space as an emptiness that prevents the closure of the political itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Bustinduy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399527800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399527804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Pablo Bustinduy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45482806935807,"sku":"9781399527804","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88ba6bb3-48f5-4fe2-ad36-c4c5812e7e87.jpg?v=1715999545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-and-political-universalism-in-pablo-bustinduy-9781399527804","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
