Jeremy Arnold proposes a novel way to think about the purpose and the methods of political theory and a new attitude to enable different and even incommensurable approaches to old problems.\"—Paul Patton, author of \u003ci\u003eDeleuzian Concepts: Philosophy, Colonization, Politics\u003c\/i\u003e \"Political theorists often feel pushed to join the ranks of either analytic or continental political theory. But why must they choose? In his excellent \u003ci\u003eAcross the Great Divide\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeremy Arnold's lucid prose lowers the entry barriers to either tradition and helps theorists see past the prejudices that can prevent them from trying to bridge the gap.\"—Paulina Ochoa Espejo, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Time of Popular Sovereignty: Process and the Democratic State\u003c\/i\u003e \"A lucidly argued book that sympathizes with both the analytical and continental traditions \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e has something new and exciting to say about them? It seems improbable. Yet \u003ci\u003eAcross the Great Divide\u003c\/i\u003e has done it! Jeremy Arnold explores uncharted waters, and his defense of an aporetic form of cross-tradition theorizing will ignite debate for years to come.\"—Thomas J.

It is a unique addition to recent works that explore the development of Anglo-American political theory in the postwar period; neither wholly polemical nor simply an intellectual history, the work is attentive to the 'how' of scholarly reading.\"—Davide Panagia, \u003ci\u003eThe Review of Politics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe division between analytic and continental political theory remains as sharp as it is wide, rendering basic problems seemingly intractable. \u003ci\u003eAcross the Great Divide\u003c\/i\u003e offers an accessible and compelling account of how this split has shaped the field of political philosophy and suggests means of addressing it. Rather than advocating a synthesis of these philosophical modes, author Jeremy Arnold argues for aporetic cross-tradition theorizing: bringing together both traditions in order to show how each is at once necessary and limited.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcross the Great Divide\u003c\/i\u003e engages with a range of fundamental political concepts and theorists—from state legitimacy and violence in the work of Stanley Cavell, to personal freedom and its civic institutionalization in Philip Pettit and Hannah Arendt, and justice in John Rawls and Jacques Derrida—not only illustrating the shortcomings of theoretical synthesis but also demonstrating a productive alternative. By outlining the failings of \"political realism\" as a synthetic cross-tradition approach to political theory and by modeling an aporetic mode of engagement, Arnold shows how we can better understand and address the pressing political issues of civil freedom and state justice today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52610610495768,"sku":"9781503612136","price":71.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/across-the-great-divide-between-analytic-and-continental-political-theory-hardback-9781503612136","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
