Life-Coherent Politics
From Power-Struggle to the Governance of Shared Life-CapacityBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length3h 27m
About this audiobook
Life-Coherent Politics reframes politics not as the struggle for power, but as the governance of shared life-capacity. Dr. Bichara Sahely asks what political life becomes when law, economy, security, democracy, technology, and sovereignty are made answerable to the life-ground: the conditions by which persons, communities, ecosystems, and future generations can continue to live, develop, belong, and participate. Drawing on life-value philosophy, peace theory, commons governance, capabilities, ecological limits, and constitutional responsibility, this audiobook offers a non-partisan framework for moving from life-blind politics to politics as world-conservation, repair, and stewardship.
