While Western and global politics may currently appear to be in a state of crisis (witness Trump, Brexit, climate change, etc.), political thinkers have more systematically diagnosed a crisis of Western modernity at least since the turn of the twentieth century. The latter has inter alia been described in terms of “disenchantment” or a “dialectic of Enlightenment,” a “rise of the social” or a “colonization of the lifeworld,” “disciplinary society,” “biopolitics” or “post-politics.” Both the current and the long-standing sense of crisis raise the question of whether we need to reinvent politics, and if so, what intellectual resources might be available for this in contemporary political thought. This course frames this question in terms of different theorizations of the relationship between politics (i.e. “official” political institutions and discourses) and the political (i.e. underlying claims about community, subjectivity, truth, and ethics). Based on an examination of a number of major theorists in (mostly) continental political thought from the early twentieth to the early twenty-first century, it investigates political questions revolving around identity and difference, conflict and consensus, power and resistance, society and the state, and the national and the global in contemporary liberal, conservative, Frankfurt-School, poststructural, and postfoundational political theories. In conjunction with their intellectual merits, we will consider how different theorizations are situated in their historical settings, and how they may operate as interventions in contemporary political practice. Authors discussed will include Weber, Schmitt, Rawls, Habermas, Foucault, and Mouffe.
