This book provides a genealogical mapping of the universalisation/secularisation thesis that is both widely saluted and mistrusted as master narrative of modern political and normative history.
Targets the widespread secularisation thesis and provides potential alternatives to itAnton Schütz and Marinos Diamantides outline how the thesis of secularisation commands ethical and moral standards that seem paradoxical to its sense and character. They argue for a Western-inclusive, rather than Western-exclusive, take on what could be called anthropology. Questions the outdated suggestions of Carl Schmitt''s political theology. Builds upon a refined version of Giorgio Agamben''s close-reading of Christian government as management and identifies Western-Christian tensions within jurisprudence . Concludes that what the West''s secular universality is passing off as politics or law is really an attempt to manage its own dwindling primacy.
