Bücher der Reihe Anders als denken / Interkontinentale Perspektiven

Nationism: In Defence of Open Societies is an intense, transdisciplinary work of philosophical anthropology, drawing widely on key insights from sociology, cultural, gender, literary and film studies, discourse and political theory, social psychology, ethology, and the latest developments in biology, neuroscience, evolutionary theory. Encompassing current events, popular culture, and the culture wars, it will enlighten, enrage (consider this your trigger warning) and enthuse not only academic readers but all those interested in the quandaries and dilemmas facing us today - and our possibilities for a better, more humane, democratic and free future. It will convert many of its readers from supporters (or even critics) of open society, to advocates for the proliferation of open societies.

To Live and to Die in History, engages with what we call the spectral returns of history and furthermore how these incessantly overwhelm our lived present by each time exceeding the possibility of a measured historical consciousness. By critically questioning Heidegger's history of the truth of Being and pursuing Derrida's deconstructive question, we attempt here to rethink a novel paradigm for a renewed philosophy of history oriented by a hyperbolical responsibility and an irreducible idea of justice for the singularity of both the past and the future dying and living in history.
