What is political modernity? And how much of its concepts and
structures has changed or remained the same with the advent of the
so-called globalization? What does it mean, from a political
perspective, that we live in a postmodern era? This book discusses
these issues in light of the key authors and texts of the
continental philosophical tradition: from Carl Schmitt to Giorgio
Agamben, from Thomas Hobbes to Michel Foucault. Looking at the
roots of the current historical crisis that characterizes Western
political regimes, this book gazes into the past in order to trace
the possible development of our current global era, in which all
the classical concepts and our symbolic resources seem to be called
into question, leaving a vacuum of meaning for political action as
much as for political theory.
