Book: The Weimar Moment: Liberalism, Political Theology, and Law

Just published: The contributed volume, "The Weimar Moment: Liberalism, Political Theology, and Law", edited by Leonard V. Kaplan and Rudy Koshar (both University of Wisconsin-Madison), is based on a 2008 conference of the same title (Lexington Books, December 2011).

Quote: " The Weimar Moment 's evocative assault on closure and political reaction ... cannot but appeal to us today. This appeal - its historical grounding and content, its complexities and tensions, its variegated expressions across the networks of power and thought - is the essential context of the present volume, whose ... challenge ... is to provide the material to confront the present effectively".
