Deconstructing Zionism (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy series provides a political and philosophical critique of Zionism.

While other nationalisms seem to have adapted to 21st century realities and shifting notions of state and nation, Zionism has largely remained tethered to a 19th century mentality, including the glorification of the state as the only means of expressing the spirit of the people. The essays, contributed by eminent international thinkers such as Gianni Vattimo and Judith Butler, deconstruct the political-metaphysical myths that are the framework for the existence of Israel. Collectively, they offer a multifaceted critique of the metaphysical, theological, and onto-political grounds of the Zionist project and the economic, geopolitical, and cultural outcomes of these foundations.

A significant contribution to the debates surrounding the state of Israel today, this groundbreaking work will appeal to anyone interested in political theory, philosophy, Jewish thought, and the Middle East conflict.
