Description
The Birth of Territory by Stuart Elden explores how the concept of territory emerged in Western political thought. From ancient Greece to the seventeenth century, Elden examines the evolution of this idea and its impact on our understanding of the world. Elden delves into historical texts and practices, as well as the work of key thinkers such as historians, poets, philosophers, theologians, and secular political theorists. By shedding light on these influences, he reveals how the earth's surface has been divided, controlled, and administered over time. This book provides a detailed account of the emergence of territory within Western political thought, offering new insights into the way the world came to be ordered.
