The political thought of Jacques Ranciere : creating equality

15 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT

By May, Todd, 1955-

£52.20 15 Aug 2008 Hardback Pennsylvania State U Pr

This book examines the political perspective of French thinker and historian Jacques Ranciere. Ranciere argues that a democratic politics emerges out of people's acting under the presupposition of their own equality with those better situated in the social hierarchy. Todd May examines and extends this presupposition, offering a normative framework for understanding it, placing it in the current political context, and showing how it challenges traditional political philosophy and opens up neglected political paths. He demonstrates that the presupposition of equality orients political action around those who act on their own behalf--and those who act in solidarity with them--rather than, as with the political theories of John Rawls, Robert Nozick, and Amartya Sen, those who distribute the social goods. As May argues, Ranciere's view offers both hope and perspective for those who seek to think about and engage in progressive political action.

The fourteen texts gathered here may have a single aim, but their content varies depending on the respective authora (TM)s intention: either to discuss problems of language within the Husserlian framework, to address philosophical issues of language proceeding from a phenomenological viewpoint, or to provide a reflection on phenomenologya (TM)s relation to language. Thus, rather than being organized by topic, the collection has been arranged into three parts, according to the respective authorsa (TM) philosophical approaches.
