Excellent- More about Towards a New Concept of the Political: A Defence of Universalism and Difference
This book offers a radical redefinition of the concept of the Political, drawing on the thoughts of Antonio Gramsci and Walter Benjamin to explore the meaning of auctoritas and compare the Frankfurt Schools radical critique of power with Georges Batailles critique of political economy and consumerist productivism. It proposes a new understanding of politics founded on a universalism of difference and a horizontal recomposition of subjectivities, appealing to scholars of social and political theory.

The current crisis of democratic politics is explored in this book, which proposes a radical redefinition of the concept of the Political. Drawing on the ideas of Antonio Gramsci, Walter Benjamin, and others, it examines the meaning of the lemma auctoritas, the opposition between authority and power. It compares the Frankfurt Schools radical critique of power with Georges Batailles critique of political economy and consumerist productivism, demonstrating how the two ultimately converge. The author proposes a new understanding of politics founded not on vertical domination but on a horizontal recomposition of subjectivities, allowing interaction and acting-in-common between different forms of life. This book will appeal to scholars of social and political theory.
