This book provides a genealogical mapping of the
universalisation/secularisation thesis that is both widely saluted
and mistrusted as master narrative of modern political and
normative history. While accepting that foundational issues of
religions weigh heavier than political philosophy's aspirations,
the authors question the outdated suggestions of Carl Schmitt's
political theology, building instead upon a refined version of
Giorgio Agamben's close-reading of Christian government as
management. The book identifies Western-Christian tensions within
jurisprudence and concludes that the West's secular universality is
passing off as politics or law what is really the management of its
own dwindling primacy.
