The \u003ci\u003eReader\u003c\/i\u003e provides a systematic overview of Abensour's work and the two inseparable projects that govern his approach to political theory: on the one hand, a radical critique of all forms of domination and, on the other, a desire to conceptualize the political as the realm of freedom and emancipation. For Abensour, both projects are to be undertaken together in order to avoid the double trap of an evacuation of conflict from politics and the reduction of politics to a form of domination. In other words, a politics of emancipation requires a \"ruthless\" critique of domination coupled with an analysis of politics as the domain within which human beings experience freedom and equality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410364682584,"sku":"9781438498249","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781438498249.jpg?v=1778656562","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/politics-of-emancipation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
