4.0 out of 5 stars
Great piece on revolutionary movements, March 17, 2008
This review is from: Resisting Ethics (Hardcover)
Okay, I'll admit that I know the author personally (he was a professor of mine and is currently a good friend) but all bias aside, this book is a great look at revolutionary movements and the sociological motivations behind them. Schaffer's ability to take existential philosophy and apply it to a practical, social setting will keep the deepest of theoretical readers engrossed from start to finish. Not only does he manage to make relevant the philosophical social theory of days gone by, but he applies it to current issues in global revolutionary politics. Schaffer's discourse on the ethics of resistance will challenge the reader to think hard about what revolution means in this "post-modern" world. A must read for anyone interested in the topic.
