{"product_id":"augustinian-imperative","title":"Augustinian Imperative","description":"An entirely new interpretation of one of the most seminal and widely read figures in the history of political thought, \u003ci\u003eThe Augustinian Imperative\u003c\/i\u003e is also \"an archaeological investigation into the intellectual foundation of liberal societies.\"  Drawing support from Nietzsche and Foucault, Connolly argues that the Augustinian Imperative contains unethical implications: its carriers too often convert living signs that threaten their ontological self-confidence into modes of otherness to be condemned, punished, or converted in order to restore that confidence.  With a lucidity and rhetorical power that makes it readily accessible, \u003ci\u003eThe Augustinian Imperative\u003c\/i\u003e examines Augustine's enactment of the Imperative, explores alternative ethico-political orientations, and subsequently reveals much about the politics of morality in the modern age.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55921770889560,"sku":"9780742521476","price":52.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780742521476.jpg?v=1769886936","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/augustinian-imperative","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
