This path-breaking and eloquent analysis of The Odyssey, and the
way it has been interpreted by political philosophers throughout
the centuries, has dramatic implications for the current state of
political thought. This important book offers readers original
insights into The Odyssey and it provides a new understanding of
the classic works of Plato, Rousseau, Vico, Horkheimer, and Adorno.
Through his analysis Patrick J. Deneen requires readers to rethink
the issues that are truly at the heart of our contemporary 'Culture
Wars,' and he encourages us to reassess our assumptions about the
Western canon's virtues or viciousness. Deneen's penetrating
exploration of Odysseus's and our own enduring battles between the
dual temptations of homecoming and exploration, patriotism and
cosmopolitanism, and relativism and universality provides an
original perspective on contentious debates at the center of modern
political theory and philosophy.
