The contributors to Beyond Man reckon with the colonial and racial implica�ons of the philosophy of religion's history by staging a conversa�on between it and Black, Indigenous, and decolonial studies.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
In Survival, Adam Stern asks what texts and tradi�ons have made survival a recognizable element of our current poli�cal vocabulary. Examining works by Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig, and Sigmund Freud, Stern shows that survival belongs to a history of debates about the sovereignty and subjec�on of Christ's body.
In this provoca�ve new work, Adriana Cavarero weighs in on contemporary debates about the rela�onship between democracy, happiness, and dissent, drawing upon Hannah Arendt's understanding of poli�cs as a par�cipatory experience.

Daniel Bensaïd examines Karl Marx’s early wri�ngs to establish a new framework for addressing the rights of the poor, the idea of the commons, and private property as a social ins�tu�on, in an era of unprecedented priva�za�on.
The Belief in Intui�on shows that intui�on, as Henri Bergson and Max Scheler understood it, leads to a concep�on of freedom grounded in a sense of individuality that remains true to its "inner mul�plicity," thus providing a dis�nct contrast to and cri�que of the liberal no�on of the self.

Using cinema to explore the visual aspects of alterity, Randall Halle analyzes how we become cognizant of each other and how we perceive and judge another person in a visual field. He draws on philosophy and cogni�ve and neuroscience to argue that there is no pure, “natural” sight.
Hannah Arendt was one of the foremost theorists of the twen�eth century to wrestle with the role of violence in public life. In Violence and Power in the Thought of Hannah Arendt, Caroline Ashcro� argues that what Arendt opposes in poli�cal violence is the use of force to determine poli�cs, an idea central to modern sovereignty.
