The Political Vocation of Philosophy by Donatella Di Cesare (English) Hardcover

Philosophy runs the risk of becoming the handmaiden of science and of a hollowed-out democracy. Suggesting a radical existentialism and a new anarchism, Di Cesare shows that Western philosophy has been characterised by a political vocation ever since its origins in ancient Greece, and argues that the separation of philosophy from its political roots robs it of its most valuable and enlightening potential.
