Modern political conflict characteristically reflects and
represents deep-seated but also unacknowledged and un-analyzed
disagreements about what it means to be 'objective'. In defending
this proposition, Peter J. Steinberger seeks to reaffirm the idea
of rationalism in politics by examining important problems of
public life explicitly in the light of established philosophical
doctrine. The Politics of Objectivity invokes, thereby, an age-old,
though now widely ignored, tradition of western thought according
to which all political thinking is inevitably embedded in and
underwritten by larger structures of metaphysical inquiry. Building
on earlier studies of the idea of the state, and focusing on highly
contested practices of objectivity in judgement, this book suggests
that political conflict is an essentially discursive enterprise
deeply implicated in the rational pursuit of theories about how
things in the world really are.
