    The contemporary landscape – marked by climate change, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, species extinction, and the shifting boundaries of the political community as we used to intend it – demands an urgent rethinking of inherited categories, to reassess the foundational concepts and frameworks of political philosophy.

Set in a shadowy hinterland in 1917–18, the cycle is one of Bulgakov's earliest explorations of a theme characteristic of his mature work–the irruption of the supernatural into the everyday. The influence of the katabasis is both linguistic and formal, as the cycle sh…

    Barbara HenryARTICLEJournal of Balkan and Near…2017

Second, efforts to establish generic schools of administration in which the public element gets its due have resulted in few, if any successes. Third, decades of insistence on interdisciplinary cooperation have come to naught. If anything, there …
