Cacciari is a notoriously complex thinker but this title offers a starting point for entering into the very heart of his thinking. \u003ci\u003eThe Witholding Power\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive and synthetic insight into his interpretation of Christian political theology and leftist Italian political theory more generally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of \u003ci\u003ekatechon \u003c\/i\u003e- originally a biblical concept which has been developed into a political concept - has been absolutely central to the work of Italian philosophers such as Agamben and Eposito for nearly twenty years. In \u003ci\u003eThe Withholding Power, \u003c\/i\u003eCacciari sets forth his startlingly original perspective on the influence the theological-political questions have traditionally exerted upon ideas of power, sovereignty and the relationship between political and religious authority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith an introduction by Howard Caygill contextualizing the work within the history of Italian thought, this title will offer those coming to Cacciari for the first time a searing insight into his political, theological and philosophical milieu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Massimo Cacciari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350046442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350046443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018","brand":"Massimo Cacciari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200593215743,"sku":"9781350046443","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20392d2c-12c1-4acf-833f-d456d3436ec9.jpg?v=1756787348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-withholding-power-massimo-cacciari-9781350046443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
