Containing a previously unpublished essay by Wight, this book brings this essay, "Fortune's Banter", to light. The importance of imponderable elements on human affairs is well understood, at least since the dawn of Western culture. The reversals and incongruities of life are common events. Fortune and irony are categories of practical understanding, but they also describe the most ancient and fundamental experience in politics. It is this experience in which Michele Chiaruzzi examines Martin Wight's seminal philosophy. Martin Wight on Fortune and Irony in Politics provides awareness of imponderable factors in politics that tends to mitigate their role and is an antidote to political dogmatism. 410 0$aThe Palgrave Macmillan History of International Thought,$x2634-5226 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aInternational Relations 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aPolitical History 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a327.101 686 $aPOL000000$aPOL010000$aPOL011000$2bisacsh 700 $aChiaruzzi$b M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059634 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255313603321 996 $aMartin Wight on Fortune and Irony in Politics$92507424 997 $aUNINA
