Breaking Grounds - Thinking with Reiner Schurmann

An anthology of responses to Reiner Sch-rmann-s philosophical research, writings, and commentaries. In recent years, academic interest in Reiner Sch-rmann-s philosophical work has grown significantly. His thought on the principle of anarchy and on broken hegemonies has begun to draw greater attention and has inspired recent works by Catherine Malabou and Giorgio Agamben, among others. In times of globalization and uni-dimensionalization, Sch-rmann-s deconstruction of the concept of the One, upon which western metaphysics and civilization has consolidated its power, is more than actual. It is urgent. Breaking Ground gathers contributions from scholars from different parts of the world who have studied and engaged with Sch-rmann-s thought. This anthology is the outcome of the first international conference on Sch-rmann-s philosophical work held at S-dert-rn University, Stockholm, in 2021, addressing the legacy of his thought on broken hegemonies.
