The Disclosure of Politics: Struggles over the Semantics of Secularization (original) (raw)

This book offers a critical examination of the interplay between politics and religion, challenging the notion that modernity is fundamentally tied to its theologico-political heritage. Through analyses of key thinkers like Hans Blumenberg and Reinhart Koselleck, it asserts that politics is characterized by ongoing struggles to redefine concepts, facilitating the emergence of new theoretical and practical possibilities. The argument highlights the importance of semantic change in understanding the evolution of political thought and action in contemporary society.
