Book: Political Theology: Four New Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty
Columbia University Press asked me to circulate an announcement of this recently published monograph by Paul W. Kahn (Yale), "Political Theology: Four New Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty" (CUP, February 2011), which they call "a decisive break with dominant political theory and a reinvention of political theology".
The book appears to be mainly concerned with American political theology, but may be of interest to scholars outside the States too. After all, both its title and structure are clearly a play on that (in)famous German, Carl Schmitt.
If you've read it, please leave a comment.
