This book provides a comprehensive account of the phenomenon of
identity in politics, featuring for the first time the question of
individual emancipation. It addresses the burning questions of our
times, viz. nationalism, populism, Islamic fundamentalism,
multiculturalism, postsecularism and postcolonialism. The volume
repudiates an easy reconciliation between identity and
emancipation, such as it occurs in contemporary liberal and
multicultural political theories. It shows that we cannot achieve
emancipation without Kant's help, whereas identity relentlessly
draws us back to collective values and the community. The book
urges for a new understanding of identity and a politics that
instead of accommodating identities seeks to govern them. Identity
is the buzzword in the humanities and social sciences, but also the
most contentious and least conceptualized term. This book intends
to bring theoretical clarity into the debate on how identity plays
out in politics.
