This book develops a novel account of  collective emancipation in which freedom is achieved not through  knowledge and action but via doubt and inertia. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn  essays that range from ancient Greece to the end of the Anthropocene,  Bull addresses questions central to contemporary political theory in  novel readings of texts by Aristotle, Machiavelli, Marx, and Arendt, and  shows how classic philosophical problems have  a bearing on issues like political protest and climate change. The  result is an entirely original account of political agency for the  twenty-first century in which uncertainty and idleness are limned with  utopian promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 348g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 149 x 217 x 25 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781844672936\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malcolm Bull","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105779871994,"sku":"9781844672936","price":13.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/concept-of-the-social-scepticism-idleness-and-utopia","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
