But what does it mean and what makes it an \u003ci\u003eaesthetic\u003c\/i\u003e turn? Why now? This diverse and path-breaking collection of essays answers these questions, provoking new ways to think about the possibilities and debilities of democratic politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning from the premise that politics is \u003ci\u003ealready \u003c\/i\u003e\"aesthetic in principle,\" the contributions to \u003ci\u003eThe Aesthetic Turn in Political Thought\u003c\/i\u003e from some of the world's leading political theorists and philosophers, disclose a distinct set of political problems\u003ci\u003e: the aesthetic problems of modern politics\u003c\/i\u003e. The aesthetic turn in political thought not only recognizes that these problems are different in kind from the standard problems of politics, it also recognizes that they call for a different kind of theorizing - a theorizing that is itself aesthetic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA major contribution to contemporary theoretical debates, \u003ci\u003eThe Aesthetic Turn in Political Thought\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading to anyone interested in the interdisciplinary crossroads of aesthetic and politics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNikolas Kompridis\u003c\/b\u003e is Research Professor of Philosophy and Political Thought, and Foundation Director of the Institute for Social Justice, Australian Catholic University.
