What does political agency mean for those who don't know what to do
or can't be bothered to do it? This book develops a novel account
of collective emancipation in which freedom is achieved not through
knowledge and action but via doubt and inertia. In essays that
range from ancient Greece to the end of the Anthropocene, Bull
addresses questions central to contemporary political theory in
novel readings of texts by Aristotle, Machiavelli, Marx, and
Arendt, and shows how classic philosophical problems have a bearing
on issues like political protest and climate change. The result is
an entirely original account of political agency for the
twenty-first century in which uncertainty and idleness are limned
with utopian promise.
