This chapter considers two inter-related themes that dominated modern European philosophy in 2015. The first concerns some of the oldest questions of political philosophy—civil war, violence, citizenship—in the light of recent political developments in the form of global mass protest and uprisings. The second theme examines the focus on relations and relationality as attempts to both restore the role of the body to philosophy and to present an ontology that directly commences with relationality rather than singularity. The chapter examines the work of Giorgio Agamben, E ́ tienne Balibar, Judith Butler, Roberto Esposito and Andrew Benjamin. It attempts to show how current philosophical debates around the ambiguities and aporias of philosophy and democracy have important things to contribute to any contemporary discussion of politics, ethics and political action. The chapter is divided into seven sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Civil War; 3. Citizenship; 4. Violence; 5. Protest; 6. The Body and Relationality; 7. Conclusion.
