{"product_id":"the-civil-condition-in-world-vassilios-paipais-9781529224184","title":"The Civil Condition in World Politics: Beyond Tragedy and Utopianism","description":"Bringing together an international team of contributors, this volume draws on international political theory and intellectual history to rethink the problem of a pluralistic world order. Inspired by the work of international political theorist Nicholas Rengger, the book focuses on three main areas of Rengger's contribution to the political theory of international relations: his Augustine-inspired idea of an 'Anti-Pelagian Imagination'; his Oakeshottian argument for a pluralist 'conversation of mankind'; and his ruminations on war as the uncivil condition in world politics. Through a critical engagement with his work, the book illuminates the promises and limitations of civility as a sceptical, non-utopian, anti-perfectionist approach to theorizing world order that transcends both realist pessimism and liberal utopianism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vassilios Paipais\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529224187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529224184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Vassilios Paipais","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717440893183,"sku":"9781529224184","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa832aeb-f871-4840-9fbc-4cc182c78d73.jpg?v=1705688253","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-civil-condition-in-world-vassilios-paipais-9781529224184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
