Presence and the politicalperforming human /[electronic resource] :by Farhang Rajaee. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2021. - xxxii, 279 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Why are we here? Presence and Civitas -- Part I. A Theory of Presence (PET) and Civitas -- Chapter 3. Presence and Personhood -- Chapter 4. Ethos and Mechanisms -- Chapter 5. Theater, Structures, and Institutions -- Part II. Praxis, Civitates in History -- Chapter 6. The Persians: A Civitas of Divine-Immanence -- Chapter 7. The Mughals: A Civitas of Divine-Transcendence -- Chapter 8. The Americans: A Civitas of Human-Immanence -- Chapter 9. Final Thoughts.

This book deals with a concern of how humanity performs toward itself and how it performs within the public realm, and where it must be in relation with others. Public life is not solely about politics but also the political, i.e., intellectual, moral, economic, religious, and collective habits-including fashions and amusements, artefacts, histories, and legacies. This book argues that man raison d'être in worldly life is to have a civil presence and create civilization. It contends that what makes it possible is the coming together of "presence, ethos, and theatre" and their working in concert. The first half of this book elaborates on the nuances of these three pillars, and the second half offers three examples of civilizations that have succeeded to achieve this within what it claims to be three major worldviews that he calls "divine-immanence, the divine-transcendence, and human-immanence." Farhang Rajaee is an Emeritus Professor of Political Science and Humanities at Carleton University, Canada.
