The book L’ombra della politica, by Matteo Truffelli, expounds three thesis: (1) “antipolitics” can be represented as a consistent approach; (2) historically, the rise of “antipolitics” should be placed in the Sixteenth Century; (3) “antipolitics” can be considered as the “dark side” of “politics”, provided that both of them are grown directly from the same root, which is modern political philosophy.
This article explores the content of the volume with regards to contemporary experience from a classical perspective of “politics”.
