The volume delves into the provocative terrain of escape as a mode of resistance. Through a diverse array of studies encompassing political theology and artificial intelligence, the author navigates the philosophical landscape of exiting established forms of knowledge and practices. Drawing from a rich tapestry of Western thought-from Carl Schmitt and St. Augustine to Bernard Stiegler and Antonio Negri-the volume engages deeply with the notion of forging new pathways beyond existing political paradigms. The chapters present a fresh perspective on the dynamics of political transformation, urging readers to reconsider conventional boundaries and embrace innovative approaches to social change. By examining the intersections of philosophy, politics, and technology, it invites readers to contemplate profound questions about liberation, creativity, and the potential for radical societal renewal. It is an essential reading for scholars, activists, and anyone intrigued by the philosophical underpinnings of resistance and the quest for new horizons in political theory and practice.
