"The Politics to Come brings together an international collection
of thinkers to consider the meaning of liberal democratic modernity
at a moment when its future has never been less certain. It
examines the explosive threats the liberal order confronts today:
financial meltdown, religious extremism, environmental catastrophe.
Yet, it also seeks to place these - singularly modern - crises
within a much longer history.
For the contributors to this collection, it is the ancient
religious tradition called 'the messianic' that provides the
critical lens through which modernity may be interrogated. In its
ongoing struggles with the messianic, liberal modernity confronts
the promise and threat of a radically new Politics to Come.
So what are the Politics to Come? How do they manifest themselves
throughout history? Why does the possibility of a messianic
judgement continue to haunt the western political imaginary? This
collection offers a series of political, philosophical and
theological perspectives from which the future of liberal modernity
- if it has one - can be imagined. "
