Article: Demonomics: Leibniz and the antinomy of modern power
Kyle McGee, an independent scholar who was awarded a J.D. from Villanova University in 2009, is the author of "Demonomics: Leibniz and the antinomy of modern power" ("Radical Philosophy: A Journal of Socialist and Feminist Philosophy", 168, July/August 2011: pp. 33-45).
Excerpt: "Two apparently opposed approaches to power in political philosophy - political theology and biopower - are the contemporary heirs to this critical tradition. Each ... advancing something like a theory of radical democracy on its normative edge. ... Together, however, they compose an antinomy. ... Applying pressure to the antinomy yields an alternative concept of power that belongs to a non-democratic discourse. ... The conclusion restates some key findings that gesture towards a finally non-democratic political philosophy for the present."
