In recent years, academic interest in Reiner Schürmann's philosophical work has grown significantly. His thoughts on "the principle of anarchy" and "broken hegemonies" have begun to draw greater attention and have inspired recent works. In times of globalization and homogenization, Schürmann's deconstruction of the concept of the "One," upon which Western metaphysics and civilization have consolidated their power, is more than contemporary, it is urgent.
The present volume gathers, for the first time in an anthology, contributions from scholars from different parts of the world who have studied and been engaged with Schürmann's thought over the years. This anthology is the outcome of the first international conference on Schürmann's philosophical work, held at Södertörn University in Stockholm, addressing the legacy of his work on broken hegemonies.
With contributions by Claudia Baracchi, Peg Birmingham, Emmanuel Cattin, Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback, Astrid Grelz, Francesco Guercio, Peter Hanly, Krystof Kasprzak, Jérôme Lèbre, Reginald Lilly, Michael Marder, Alberto Martinengo, Ian Alexander Moore, David Payne, Ramona Rat, Elisabeth Rigal, Gustav Strandberg.
