An anthology of responses to Reiner Schürmann's philosophical research, writings, and commentaries.



In recent years, academic interest in Reiner Schürmann's philosophical work has grown significantly. His thought on "the principle of anarchy " and on "broken hegemonies" has begun to draw greater attention and has inspired recent works by, among others, Catherine Malabou and Giorgio Agamben. In times of globalization and uni-dimensionalization, Schürmann's deconstruction of the concept of the One, upon which western metaphysics and civilization has consolidated its power, is more than actual. It seems urgent. The present volume gathers, for the first time in an anthology, contributions from scholars from different parts of the world who have been studied and engaged with Schürmann's thought over the years. The anthology is the outcome of the first international conference on Schürmann's philosophical work held at Södertörn University, in 2021 in Stockholm, addressing the legacy of his thought on broken hegemonies.
