Post-Foundational Ethics and Politics

The previous Section titles refer to canonic categories in Critical Theory, even if some of their contents have been chosen to convey the permeability and imprecision of those categories. To collect seven pieces under the heading Post-Foundational Ethics and Politics requires a different kind of Section introduction: less an introduction to the individual theorists within the framework of an established field and more an extended rationale which maps a series of enquiries and alerts readers to the significance of some figures (notably Hannah Arendt) whose relevance and importance to Critical Theory registered too late in the compiling of this book to have been included.
