Description
Kantian Courage explores how contemporary political theorists continue Immanuel Kant's legacy in addressing the challenges of our time. In this thought-provoking analysis, Nicholas Tampio examines the work of key figures such as John Rawls, Gilles Deleuze, and Tariq Ramadan.
The book argues that progressive thinkers should embody a critical and creative disposition to invent new political theories, rather than advocating specific ideas. By doing so, they can forge alliances across differences in politics and religion, using concepts like the overlapping consensus, the rhizome, and the space of testimony.
This insightful study will be of interest to students of the Enlightenment, contemporary political theorists, and anyone concerned about the future of relationships between Islam and the West.
