While claiming that liberalism is the dominant political theory and
practice of modernity, this book provides two alternative post
modern theoretical approaches to the political. Concentrating on
Nietzsche's and Foucault's work, it offers a novel interpretation
of their genealogical projects. It argues that genealogy can be
applied to analyze different forms of cultural kitsch vis-a-vis the
dominant political institutions of consumer capitalism. The problem
with consumer capitalism is not so much that it exploits
individuals, but that it fosters cheap human existence saturated
with the artefacts of kitsch. Contrasting genealogy with
hermeneutic philosophy, it calls for a renewal of hermeneutics
within the Thomistic tradition.
