This book explores the oeuvre of Michael Weinstein, one of the
greatest political philosophers in contemporary American and
continental thought. The essays are divided between inspirational
pieces that illuminate the links between Weinstein and authors
within the canon of political theory and reflective pieces that use
Weinstein's substantial writings to push the literature forward.
The collection as a whole is intended not only to argue for a
reengagement with both existential-phenomenology and vitalism, but
also to suggest that Weinstein belongs in the canon of
poststructural political thought.
Divided into two parts, experts begin by looking to the past to
the philosophical roots of Weinstein's critical vitalism. By
linking Weinstein to thinkers such as Thoreau, Stirner, and James,
the authors provide the foundation for Weinstein as straddling both
the American and continental philosophical traditions. In the
second part, they push Weinstein's work forward in considering the
breadth of Weinstein's influence. From Pathak's examination of
lived v. perceived authenticity to Kroker's exploration of the
demise of American posthumanity and Oprisko's blending of
philosophy with physics to argue for a social string theory,
Weinstein's influence pushes boundaries and refuses to accept any
status quo.
Original and insightful, this book is a valuable and major
contribution to the fields of continental and American philosophy,
existentialism, phenomenology, social theory, political theory,
anarchist theory, and vitalism.
