Christoph Menke is Professor of Philosophy at the Goethe University, Frankfurt.
"With Menke's brilliant book, the entire problem of bourgeois
rights appears in a new light. Menke concentrates on their form to
reveal the depoliticized and depowering social ontology that this
form encodes. More extraordinary still, Menke identifies an
alternate form that would escape this predicament and resecure
rights as emancipatory."
Wendy Brown, University of California, Berkeley
"An original and fresh critical analysis of the origins,
distinctive character, and paradoxes of the modern theories of
right and law. Menke combines historical nuance with systematic
rigor in his critique of rights - especially as it pertains to
political equality. A must read for anyone interested in probing
the meaning and limitations of modern conceptions of right, law,
and political community."
Richard J. Bernstein, Vera List Professor of Philosophy, New School
for Social Research
