The most characteristic expression of this disenchantment is theendless discourses on endism - the end of history, the end ofideology, the end of the nation-state, the end of authority, theend of government, the end of the public realm, the end of politicsitself - all have been proclaimed in recent years.
Andrew Gamble's new book argues against the fatalism implicit inso many of these discourses, as well as against the fatalism thathas always been present in many of the central discourses ofmodernity. It sets out a defence of politics and the political,explains why we cannot do without politics, and probes the complexrelationship between politics and fate, and the continuing andnecessary tension between them.
This book will be essential reading for students and scholars ofpolitics, public affairs and political thought.
