Judith Butler can justifiably be described as one of the major
critical thinkers of our time. While she is best-known for her
interventions into feminist debates on gender, sexuality and
feminist politics, her focus in recent years has broadened to
encompass some of the most pertinent topics of interest to
contemporary political philosophy. Drawing on Butler's
deconstructive reading of the key categories and concepts of
political thought, Birgit Schippers expounds and advocates her
challenge to the conceptual binaries that pervade modern political
discourse. Using examples and case studies like the West's
intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in relation to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Schippers demonstrates how Butler's
philosophically informed engagement with pressing political issues
of our time elucidates our understanding of topics such as
immigration and multiculturalism, sovereignty, or the prospect for
new forms of cohabitation and citizenship beyond and across
national boundaries. A detailed exposition and analysis of Butler's
recent ideas, championing her efforts at articulating the
possibilities for radical politics and ethical life in an era of
global interdependence, this book makes an makes an important
contribution to the emerging field of international political
philosophy.
