Index
A rethinking of the notion of political impasse and the power of thinking and self-appropriation through affect to create new possibilities in our new political reality of impasse.
Antonio Calcagno is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. He specialises in social and political philosophy and is the author of numerous articles, edited volumes, and books, including Lived Experience from the Inside Out: Social and Political Philosophy in Edith Stein, Badiou and Derrida: Politics, Events and Their Time (2007); The Philosophy of Edith Stein (2007), and Giordano Bruno and the Logic of Coincidence (1998).
Written with great lucidity and insight, Political Impasse
considers the question of political power and resistance in our era
of uncertainty and domination in order to propose creative
possibilities of endurance and hope.
