Infrapolitics: A Handbook elaborates conditions of existence that exceed any definition of world bound to political determinations. It offers a general critique of the political apparatus and seeks to establish an imperative horizon for existential self-understanding. The book provides a genealogy of infrapolitics in the context of contemporary philosophical and politico-theoretical reflection.
