Humanity and the Enemy: How Ethics Can Rid Politics of Violence

By B. Gullì

Book Overview

The book questions the concept of "the enemy," beginning with Carl Schmitt's famous notion that politics is the relationship of friend and enemy and that humanity is not a political concept. This book deconstructs this notion and views humanity at the center of a type of politics based on ethics.
