Beschreibung

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to back inside corners; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; this "is a wonderful book. In striking prose, Paul Saurette illuminates the affective dimensions of Kant's image of morality as law and criticizes the practices of humiliation attached to it. At the same time, Saurette tells an absorbing tale of contemporary politics, one in which uncompromising claims to morality co-mingle and collide with affirmations of the dignity of human beings. sharing with Kant an aversion to dogmatism. Saurette helps to break the tie that binds humility before the moral law to immoral practices of humiliation and terror." - Jane Bennett.
