Jacques Ranciere's work has challenged many of the assumptions of
contemporary continental philosophy by placing equality at the
forefront of emancipatory political thought and aesthetics. Drawing
on the claim that egalitarian politics persistently appropriates
elements from political philosophy to engage new forms of
dissensus, Devin Zane Shaw argues that Ranciere's work also
provides an opportunity to reconsider modern philosophy and
aesthetics in light of the question of equality. In Part I, Shaw
examines Ranciere's philosophical debts to the 'good sense' of
Cartesian egalitarianism and the existentialist critique of
identity. In Part II, he outlines Ranciere's critical analyses of
Walter Benjamin and Clement Greenberg and offers a reinterpretation
of Ranciere's debate with Alain Badiou in light of the
philosophical differences between Schiller and Schelling. From
engaging debates about political subjectivity from Descartes to
Sartre, to delineating the egalitarian stakes in aesthetics and the
philosophy of art from Schiller to Badiou, this book presents a
concise tour through a series of egalitarian moments found within
the histories of modern philosophy and aesthetics.
