A multifaceted engagement with the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy.
 This book continues passionate conversation that Jean-Luc
Nancy (1940–2021) was engaged in throughout his life with
philosophers and artists from all over the world. The contributors
take up Nancy’s philosophical question of truth as a praxis of a
“with”—understanding truth without any given measure or
comparison as an articulation of a with. It is a thinking
responsible for the world from within the world, a language that
seeks to respond to the ongoing mutation of our civilization.

This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy
series examines one of the most important topics in contemporary
political theory: how to conceptualize the relationship between the
one and the many. The essays discuss how to reconcile multiple
ontologies without subsuming them to a totalitarian unity. While
one school of thought (Deleuze, Negri) seeks to create a new
ontology based on the many instead of the one, (which, politically,
is close to anarchy), another proposes to understand the "one" as
the "ultra-one" of the event (Badiou). In this groundbreaking work,
leading thinkers explore these debates and offer alternative
concepts. Building on Jean-Luc Nancy's essay who proposes an
ontology of "singular plurality," contributors aim to synthesize
the one and the many and suggest different ways of forming
collectives, beyond the dominant representative political forms. An
original and challenging work, Politics of the One addresses new
possible ways of bringing people together, integrating philosophy
with theoretical and practical problems of politics.

The state has been a dominant political form, and the preferred
model of political unity , for at least the last two centuries.
However, many today speak of its crisis, which stems from two main
factors: the state's changing role in the globalizing international
system and the state's complex relation to democracy, a key
normative concept of contemporary politics. Authoritarian leaders
use the state to successfully reaffirm sovereignty, despite
international integration; democratic movements abound but often
serve only to reinforce the regimes they contest. Is there an
alternative? Do we need to reconceive the phenomenon of state, with
a view to the future? These are the questions that an international
group of scholars explores and answers in this groundbreaking book,
drawing on the history of political thought, continental
philosophy, and contemporary political examples. They engage the
dialectical tradition broadly understood, including
phenomenological transcendentalism, the political philosophy of
French public law, and German twentieth-century political
philosophy beyond Weber. The result brings the state into a
critical political philosophy, providing a realistic model of what
a good democratic state could and should be like.

This thought-provoking work analyzes concrete political events and
reinterprets key concepts in modern political science. Building on
the works of Kant, Badiou, Adorno, Hegel, and more, it posits that
the dynamics of revolution can be encapsulated in the concept of
negation, since a revolution essentially negates "what is" by
rejecting the power in place. The work argues that revolution is
the true ground of Western democracy and that the proof of a true
democracy is the activity of protest movements. It discusses how
modern philosophy conceives political truth as revolutionary or
eventful, and that one aspect of revolution is negativity, which
fluctuates between inertia and melancholia. It examines the problem
of revolution in the context of modern philosophy, providing a
diagnosis of the historical developments since the fall of the
Soviet Union to the Arab Spring, setting forth an original theory
of revolution while shedding light on the notion of negativity in
contemporary thought. This innovative work will appeal to anyone
interested in political theory and political philosophy.
