{"product_id":"the-egalitarian-sublime-james-williams-9781474439121","title":"The Egalitarian Sublime: A Process Philosophy","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe call sublime those things and experiences supposed to be the very best. But what if the best actually leads to inequality and exploitation? Williams critiques the sublime over its long history and in recent returns to sublime nature and technologies. Deploying a new critical method that draws on process philosophy, he shows how the sublime has always led to inequality. This holds true even where it underpins ideas of cosmopolitan enlightenment, and even when refined by Burke, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Zizek. Against the unjust legacies of the traditional sublime, James Williams defends a new, anarchist sublime: multiple, self-destructive and temporary; opposed to any idea of highest value to be shared by all but always imposed on the powerless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474439128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474439121\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 05\/26\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"James Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130728771839,"sku":"9781474439121","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eadda487-36b3-4c4f-b67a-714529cc1a91.jpg?v=1687470960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-egalitarian-sublime-james-williams-9781474439121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
