Description

Divine Violence examines political theology and its intricate relationship to sovereignty, arguing that sovereign practice reflects Christian eschatology that persists even among left-wing thinkers including Arendt and Derrida who openly critique it. The book reveals how these intellectuals encounter the trap identified by Carl Schmitt: a false dichotomy between anarchy and sovereignty, both remaining trapped within the same eschatological framework. Through rigorous analysis, this Routledge publication demonstrates how Benjamin provides the necessary political theology to transcend these limitations, offering a fresh perspective on sovereignty, political legitimacy, and theological critique for scholars of law, philosophy, and political theory.

Key Features

Routledge's scholarly examination of political theology and its foundational connection to the concept of sovereignty and state authority.

Critical analysis of how even left-leaning thinkers like Arendt and Derrida remain constrained by Christian eschatological frameworks they seek to reject.

Exploration of Carl Schmitt's identification of the false choice between anarchy and sovereignty that continues to bind political thought.

Benjamin's alternative political theology presented as a solution to escape the eschatological envelope limiting contemporary political discourse.

Rigorous academic treatment suitable for law, philosophy, and political theory scholars studying sovereignty and theological critique.
