玄德 Mysterious Virtue: Wu wei and the non-paradoxical politics of the Dao
In his work on Wu wei, Edward Slingerland argues that the classical Chinese ideal is an inherently paradoxical concept that is first and foremost spiritual and political only secondarily. Through a close reading of the Dao de Jing, the first major classical text to substantially deploy and develop the concept, I argue that Wu wei isn't inherently paradoxical and that this is seen precisely when it is viewed in terms of its political primacy. On m…
Postmodern Paper Tiger
For most contemporary theorists, the death of postmodern thought as a theoretical impulse and critical divide has become a given. Yet, since the end of the 1990s a variety of important strands of social and political thought—queer theory, feminism, and postcolonialism to name but a few—have taken up and advanced poststructuralist emphases on language and discourse that are derivative of postmodern theory. In this context, the article considers tw…
Hegel and the Metaphysical Frontiers of Political Theory
For over one hundred and fifty years G.W.F. Hegel’s ghost has haunted theoretical understanding and practice.

We argue that the art event operates as…
