This volume offers analytically acute and culturally rich ways of understanding how it is that we can productively think philosophically about political literature and what kind of distinctive conceptual progress we can make by doing so. Given the extremely widespread interest in political issues, this volume will strike resonant chords far and wide, while offering something that has not been done quite in this way and for which the time certainly seems right. Garry L. Hagberg is the James H. Ottaway Professor of Philosophy and Aesthetics at Bard College, USA and Editor of the journal Philosophy and Literature. Author of four books and editor of nine volumes, he is presently completing a new book, Consciousness Portrayed: Seven Case Studies in Philosophical Literature. 0aAesthetics.964000 0aPolitical sciencexPhilosophy.957588 0aLiteraturexAesthetics.96928014aAesthetics.96400024aPolitical Philosophy.96696424aLiterary Aesthetics.9692821 aHagberg, Garry L.eeditor.4edt4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt9771292 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303152025908iPrinted edition:z978303152027308iPrinted edition:z978303152028040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-52026-6  aZDB-2-REP  aZDB-2-SXPR  c59992d59992
