About this book
Can secularisation in the legal and political domains settle modernity’s scores with religion?
Anton Schütz and Marinos Diamantides provide a genealogical mapping of the universalisation/secularisation thesis that is both widely saluted and mistrusted as master narrative of modern political and normative history.
- Questions the outdated suggestions of Carl Schmitt’s political theology
- Builds upon a refined version of Giorgio Agamben’s close-reading of Christian government as management
- Identifies Western-Christian tensions within jurisprudence
- Concludes that what the West’s secular universality is passing off as 'politics' or 'law' is really an attempt to manage its own dwindling primacy
