Their three extended essays explore today's central historical problem: the persistence of the theological in the political. In “Toward a Political Theology of the Neighbor,” Kenneth Reinhard supplements Carl Schmitt's political theology of the enemy and friend with a political theology of the neighbor based in psychoanalysis. In “Miracles Happen,” Eric L. Santner extends the book's exploration of neighbor-love through a bracing reassessment of Benjamin and Rosenzweig. And in an impassioned plea for ethical violence, Slavoj Žižek's “Neighbors and Other Monsters” reconsiders the idea of excess to rehabilitate a positive sense of the inhuman and challenge the influence of Levinas on contemporary ethical thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rich and suggestive account of the interplay between love and hate, self and other, personal and political,''The Neighbor&lt;/i&gt;has proven to be a touchstone across the humanities and a crucial text for understanding the persistence of political theology in secular modernity. This new edition contains a new preface by the authors.  ''''''</div><div class="book-info"><div class="book-info__download">[https://libgen.me/item/adv/https://libgen.me/item/adv/261019 <u>Download</u>]</div></div></div>
