{"product_id":"fraternity-and-politics","title":"Fraternity and Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eBaumann examines the recurring efforts to establish fraternal relations in modern societies by political, and in particular, radical means. He proceeds by examining a series of related examples, beginning with a brief discussion of the metaphor for fraternity itself, and then he turns to a consideration of the historical development of the quest for fraternity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe first examines the quest for fraternity among the Students for a Democratic Society in the 1960s. Baumann then turns to the \u003ci\u003esans-culottes\u003c\/i\u003e before and during the period of the French Revolution. The third analysis is philosophical, rather than historical, and treats Jean-Paul Sartre's attempt to understand radically and thus justify the relation of fraternity to terror. His conclusion sums up the argument about the necessary self-contradiction and failure of the pursuit of political fraternity and points to the long-discarded concept of aesthetic education developed as an alternative to the political pursuit of fraternity by the poet and philospher Friedrich Schiller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218787651928,"sku":"9780275962920","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/fraternity-and-politics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
