After centuries of contemplating utopias, late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers began to warn of dystopian futures. Yet these fears extended beyond the canonical texts of dystopian fiction into postwar discourses on totalitarianism, mass society, and technology, as well as subsequent political theories of freedom and domination. Fear the Future demonstrates the centrality of dystopian thinking to twentieth century political thought, showing the pervasiveness of dystopian images, themes, and anxieties. Offering a novel reading of major themes and thinkers, Fear the Future explores visions of the future from literary figures such as Yevgeny Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell; political theorists such as Max Weber, Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Juergen Habermas, and Michel Foucault; and mid-century social scientists such as Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, David Reisman, C. Wright Mills, and Jacques Ellul. It offers a comparative analysis of distinct intellectual and literary traditions, including modern utopianism and anti-utopianism, midcentury social science, Frankfurt School critical theory, and continental political philosophy. With detailed case studies of key thinkers from the Enlightenment to the late twentieth century, the book synthesizes secondary literature and research from a range of disciplinary areas, including in political theory, intellectual history, literary studies, and utopian studies. This wide-ranging reconstruction shows that while dystopian thinking has illustrated the dangers of domination and dehumanization, it has also illuminated new possibilities for freedom.

This Palgrave Pivot offers a balanced and impartial commentary on one of the most important of the early writings by the German legal scholar Carl Schmitt. The book is known mostly by its title Politische Theologie but Schmitt's subtitle indicated that his book was on more than political theology, but was focused on conceptions of sovereignty, authority, and the 'state of exception'. The author shows how the Politische Theologie published in 1922 clearly formulated Schmitt's thinking regarding decisionism, dictatorship, and sovereignty, and how these notions intertwined to propose a governmental model opposed to parliamentary democracy. The book illuminates Carl Schmitt's role in theorising the 'state of exception' as he engaged in debates with those who contended that democratic principles were crucial. Schmitt insisted there needs to be a sovereign individual whose authority provides an immediate decision to the 'state of exception.' This book will be of interest to scholars of legal and political philosophy, as well as those interested broadly in ideas of classical liberalism, wartime political economy, authoritarianism and socio-economic influences on legal thinking.

?Der Staat ist tot ? es lebe der Staat“. Mit diesen auf die Kontinuitaet von Monarchien gemuenzten Worten laesst sich der Gegenstand der Staatsdiskussion treffend beschreiben. Der bereits totgesagte ?Leviathan“ erweist sich als erstaunlich lebendig. Zwar kann heute in den liberalen Demokratien des Westens von einem starken Staat kaum die Rede sein. Eines steht jedoch fest: Zur Aufrechterhaltung des inneren Friedens ist ein Kernbestand staatlicher Ordnungsmacht unverzichtbar. Dies ist das grosse Thema von Thomas Hobbes (1588 ? 1679) und seinem Leviathan aus dem Jahre 1651. Es lohnt sich also, sich mit dem englischen Staatsdenker Hobbes und seinem umfangreichen Werk zu beschaeftigen. In zwoelf Beitraegen wird gezeigt, dass Hobbes‘ Gedanken auch am Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts nichts von ihrer Anziehungskraft verloren haben. Der oft genug bereits totgesagte Leviathan ist so lebendig, aber auch so kontrovers wie bei seiner Geburt. Der vorliegende Band ist die ueberarbeitete und durch neue Beitraege ergaenzte Neuauflage des Buches ?Der Leviathan“, dessen Vorauflage 2000 bei Nomos erschienen ist. Mit Beitraegen von Armin Adam, Andreas Anter, Olaf Asbach, Horst Bredekamp, Norbert Campagna, Dieter Huening, Wolfgang Kersting, Hermann Klenner, Bernd Ludwig, Henning Ottmann, Peter Schroeder und Ruediger Voigt.

The foundations of modern political thought, presumed secular, were laid in conversation with theologically motivated politics and in negotiation with Jewish ideas Mid-seventeenth-century England was a hotbed in which crucial ideas of modern politics were conceived: Thomas Hobbes presented his social contract; John Selden wrote major treatises which were foundational for modern natural and international law; and England participated in the wave of republicanism that swept over Europe. This was also the period of the English Civil War-which has been portrayed as a "war of religion" and a "revolution of saints"-and was characterized by religious ends and motivations guiding politics and politicians. In England's Israel and the Foundations of Modern Political Thought, Meirav Jones proposes that the foundational political theory conceived in this period was significantly related to the theological politics of the time. Through an examination of the language and imagery shared by theorists and saints, Jones finds that, in the twenty-year period between 1640 and1660, when Hobbes, Selden, and their contemporaries published, over 40 percent of all texts published in England contained one or more of the terms "Hebrew," "Israel," "Jerusalem," "Zion," or "Jew." Further, all known works of political theory from the period employed these terms. While preachers in English parliament addressed and understood England as "Israel," foundational theorists of the modern state employed ancient Israel as a political model and explicitly preferred Hebrew over Greek wisdom. Modern politics did not develop solely from within a conversation among elites, neither was it conceived as a Godless enterprise, even by its most renowned secular architects. Instead, as the book demonstrates, it spoke the language of religiously motivated politics and was conceived in its terms. Ultimately, Jones argues that it was through a sweeping revival of Hebrew in early modern Europe that the foundations of modern politics were laid in conversation with theological politics and in negotiation with Jewish ideas and ideas of the Jews.

Dieser Sammelband ist Immanuel Kant als genuin politischem Denker gewidmet. Ausgehend von der Beobachtung, dass Kants theoretischer und praktischer Philosophie immer noch deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit als seiner politischen Philosophie zukommt, moechte der Band einige Schlaglichter auf Kants politisches Werk und Wirken werfen. In den Beitraegen des Bandes wird ausgehend von zentralen Schluesselideen und -begriffen der Kantischen politischen Theorie und Philosophie die Aktualitaet und Relevanz dieser Ideen und Konzepte diskutiert.
