Populism and Its Limits: After Articulation

by Bloomsbury Publishing

Overview

Populism and Its Limits is a response to the evaluative and celebratory approaches to populism in social sciences and
humanities. It seeks to study the phenomenon of populism, thoroughly consider its limits and, if possible, proposes ways
out to other kinds of commitment in life, living and politics. It aims to formulate responses that take on the spurious and non-dialectical dissociation between thought and action, intellect and emotion, the people and the elite.
