Description

In this original and persuasive book John Roberts overturns conventional understandings of the contradiction between the universal and the particular. He provides a critique of a universalism of limits through a series of reflections on the current crisis of the labour-capital relation, the formation of political subjectivity, and nationalism and modernity. Looking at, amongst others; Jullien, Slavoj Zizek, Ernesto Laclau, Robert Brandom, Alain Badiou, Maurizio Lazzarato, Nick Hostettler, Vivek Chibber, Karen E. Fields, and Barbara J. Fields, John Roberts proposes to reconceptualize our contemporary political predicament in terms of a new antagonism, between two competing universalisms: the positive universalism of divisive inequality (the diabolic reason of disenlightenment) and the negative universalism of unifying equality. Roberts contributes to debates on the current crisis of capitalism, emancipatory politics and universalism. The historical analysis of the work ranges from the adical particularism of the 15th century through to Andrei Breiviks 2011 manifesto, diagnosing long-standing conservative operations of thought, and lacunas within left and liberal critique.
