Description

Explore the deep connections between political theology and the practice of sovereignty in Divine Violence. This work examines how sovereignty reflects a Christian eschatology, a concept that remains difficult to overcome even for major thinkers like Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida. While these authors are critical of sovereignty, the text suggests they may fall into a trap described by Carl Schmitt, where a false choice is presented between anarchy and sovereignty. By analyzing these theoretical frameworks, the book investigates how both options remain bound within the same eschatological envelope. The author argues that Walter Benjamin provides the necessary political perspective to understand these complex dynamics. This book is a significant resource for students and scholars interested in law, political theory, and the philosophical foundations of power.
