Public Things - (Thinking Out Loud) by Bonnie Honig (Paperback)

Public Things: Democracy in Disrepair is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the role of public things in democratic politics.

Drawing on the works of Winnicott and Arendt, Honig develops a lexicon for a political theory of public things, examining their impact on contemporary events and literary, film, and political theory.

The book provides a compelling defense of public institutions, practices, and spaces, arguing that they are essential for a healthy democracy.

With its focus on the material and psychological conditions necessary for object permanence and the reparative work needed for a more egalitarian democracy, Public Things is an important contribution to the field of political theory.
