This book, itself by a major Italian philosopher, explores the distinctive traits of Italian theory and philosophy, reflecting on why it has been growing in popularity and why people have turned to it for answers to real-world issues and problems.
"In this expansive, provocative, and beautifully written work, Roberto Esposito, who is one of the most original voices in the Continental panorama today, sets out to articulate the 'Italian difference,' a question all the more enticing in light of the waning of the French generation that shaped the profile of European philosophy from the 1970s onward."
