Divine Violence: Walter Benjamin and the Eschatology of Sovereignty

Divine Violence by James Martel is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional political theory and offers a fresh perspective on anarchism.

By examining the connection between sovereignty and Christian eschatology, Martel argues that Benjamin supplies the correct political theology to overcome the trap of false choices presented by Carl Schmitt.

Through the use of divine violence, Martel shows how to de-center and dislocate sovereignty, clearing away the myths that structure our world and leaving us with a new understanding of responsibility.

This book will be of interest to students of political theory, philosophy, and deconstruction, as well as those looking for an alternative to the dilemmas faced by the 'left' today.

Don't miss out on this thought-provoking and innovative work that has the potential to change the way we think about politics and power.
