de John T. Hamilton
Descripción de contraportada
"John Hamilton's meditation on 'security'--the word and the thing--ranges, with uncommon erudition, over centuries of thought, from Hyginus's Latin fable on Cura (a marvelous beginning) to Heidegger and Homeland Security. Hamilton's philological skill, intellectual historical imagination, and critical brio fuse in a radiant explication of Goethe's Faust; indeed, the trajectory of his thought is itself Faustian in its appetite and willpower."--Stanley Corngold, author of Franz Kafka: The Ghosts in the Machine
"Broad and deep, learned and incisive, Security traces crisscrossing arcs from Roman securitas, back to Greek asphaleia, up through renaissance allegorization and the major thinkers of the Western tradition until our own times. The paradox of security, a state of lacking care, sets up a double bind between being carefree and carelessness. Hamilton's philological method resists the degradation that comes with a governmental monopolization of security measures and proposes instead a flexible, more humane politics."--Michle Lowrie, University of Chicago
"This is an important and absolutely timely exploration of security in all its intonations, structures, and puzzlements, from the classical world to the present. Hamilton moves with breathtaking ease between different languages, contexts, traditions, and periods, as well as different discourses, including literature, philosophy, anthropology, religion, political theory, painting, and film. Lucid, persuasive, and enlightening, this is a tour de force."--Paul Fleming, Cornell University
"Hamilton brings a vitally humanist and historicist perspective to the complex ideas, fears, risks, and desires that the word 'security' names. With brilliant close readings and fine insights, this is an excellent and refreshingly original study that will interest scholars and students in many fields."--Marc Redfield, Brown University
