A Philosophy of Crisis, Paperback / softback Book

A Philosophy of Crisis Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

A philosopher excavates the origins of our state of permanent crisis and charts a more promising path forward.   Crises abound—so many that it can be easy to lose perspective.

In A Philosophy of Crisis, Miguel de Beistegui traces the intellectual development of ideas about crisis and identifies four distinct forms a crisis might take: crises of deviation, exception, contradiction, and extinction.

Drawing on a range of examples (from economic crises to social uprisings, pandemics, and ecological devastation) and discourses (from ancient medicine to legal theory, political economy, philosophy, the earth sciences, and ecocriticism), A Philosophy of Crisis offers new conceptual tools for both understanding and avoiding the dangers of our crisis-saturated time.
