Rethinking politics in a new vocabulary, Hans Sluga challenges the
firmly held assumption that there exists a single common good which
politics is meant to realize. He argues that politics is not a
natural but a historical phenomenon, and not a single thing but a
multiplicity of political forms and values only loosely related. He
contrasts two traditions in political philosophy: a 'normative
theorizing' that extends from Plato to John Rawls and a newer
'diagnostic practice' that emerged with Marx and Nietzsche and has
found its three most prominent twentieth-century practitioners in
Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, and Michel Foucault. He then examines
the sources of diagnostic political thinking, analyzes its
achievements, and offers a critical assessment of its limitations.
His important book will be of interest to a wide range of
upper-level students and scholars in political philosophy,
political theory, and the history of ideas.
