The Postmodern and Political Agency

by Tuija Pulkkinen

Pulkkinen (U. of Helsinki) confronts the transcendental subject-assumptions of modern political theory in both its liberal and Hegelain-Marxian form, and defends a non-foundational understanding of the political agent as constructed and situated. She argues that an individual, moral-political judging self should be understood genealogically, without a core. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c.
