Description
Byung-Chul Han explores the nature of power in this thought-provoking book. Power is often misunderstood as a causal relation between individuals, but Han argues that it is better understood as a complex web of reciprocal interdependencies between ego and alter. This perspective reveals that power can be exercised both against others and within them, highlighting its multifaceted nature. Han's original account of power offers new insights into the relationship between power and freedom, showing how they are intertwined rather than opposed. This book will appeal to scholars and students of philosophy, social theory, and cultural studies, as well as anyone seeking to understand the ways in which power shapes our lives today.
