Welcome to Harmonistan! Over the last decade, the term “participation” has become increasingly overused. When everyone has been turned into a participant, the often uncritical, innocent, and romantic use of the term has become frightening. Supported by a repeatedly nostalgic veneer of worthiness, phony solidarity, and political correctness, participation has become the default of politicians withdrawing from responsibility. Similar to the notion of an independent politician dissociated from a specific party, this third part of Miessen’s “Participation” trilogy encourages the role of what he calls the “crossbench practitioner,” an “uninterested outsider” and “uncalled participator” who is not limited by existing protocols, and who enters the arena with nothing but creative intellect and the will to generate change.Miessen argues for an urgent inversion of participation, a model beyond modes of consensus. Instead of reading participation as the charitable savior of political struggle, Miessen candidly reflects on the limits and traps of its real motivations. Rather than breading the next generation of consensual facilitators and mediators, he argues for conflict as an enabling, instead of disabling, force. The book calls for a format of conflictual participation—no longer a process by which others are invited “in,” but a means of acting without mandate, as uninvited irritant: a forced entry into fields of knowledge that arguably benefit from exterior thinking. Sometimes, democracy has to be avoided at all costs.

Selon certaines opinions, l'intelligence de la foi chrétienne traverserait aujourd'hui une sorte d'exil, de nature à la rendre étrange, voire étrangère, au regard des évolutions de la société et de la culture. C'est ce qui permettrait de comprendre tantôt la tentation de « repli » sur la spiritualité, tantôt le confinement de la pensée chrétienne dans les sphères spécialisées des institutions vouées à la recherche et aux publications scientifiques, ne touchant qu'un public des plus restreints. D'autres estiment au contraire qu'aujourd'hui plus que jamais, l'intelligence de la foi – en philosophie comme en théologie – se doit de relever les défis qui se présentent à elle dans le champ des pratiques sociales. L'articulation entre la foi et la raison resterait bancale sans « raison pratique » efficace, laquelle rend compte du logos de la foi, entendue intelligemment dans la vie sociale, et non à l'écart des réalités et des changements, des passions et des souffrances qui s'y manifestent. Dans une société souvent perçue aujourd'hui comme fragmentée, conflictuelle, voire menaçante, quelles sont les ressources que les « métiers » de théologien (ne) et de philosophe offrent à l'alliance dans la foi chrétienne de son intelligence et de sa pratique ?

In the mid-Victorian era, liberalism was a practical politics: it had a party, it informed legislation, and it had adherents who identified with and expressed it as opinion. It was also the first British political movement to depend more on people than property, and on opinion rather than interest. But how would these subjects of liberal politics actually live liberalism? To answer this question, Elaine Hadley focuses on the key concept of individuation-how it is embodied in politics and daily life and how it is expressed through opinion, discussion and sincerity. These are concerns that have been absent from commentary on the liberal subject. Living Liberalism argues that the properties of liberalism-citizenship, the vote, the candidate, and reform, among others-were developed in response to a chaotic and antagonistic world. In exploring how political liberalism imagined its impact on Victorian society, Hadley reveals an entirely new and unexpected prehistory of our modern liberal politics. A major revisionist account that alters our sense of the trajectory of liberalism, Living Liberalism revises our understanding of the presumption of the liberal subject.
