Exploring these dimensions of the political, he argues that politics is about how perceive and relate to the world. Space is a form of appearance and a mode of actuality, and the disruption of such forms and modes is the sublime element in politics.Key FeaturesInvestigates politics and the political in the work of Hannah Arendt, Jean-Luc Nancy and Jacques RancièreExplores the political aesthetic of these thinkers, focusing on their Kantian legaciesGives us new ways of thinking about the relationship between space and politics UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780748685998?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780748685998 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780748685998/original ER -
