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.
