Via a critical overview of the relative fortunes of influence studies in the history of political thought, literary theory, and at times the history of art and poetry, it is possible to identify a dominant theory of the term. Nietzschean and emanational in nature, thanks largely to the work of Harold Bloom, this particular theory views influence as mere power and represents a broadly accepted meaning in twentieth century thought. Canons or traditions of thought came to be institutions in themselves reflecting prevalent social and political inequalities. To be sure, a theory of influence as power came to be seen as complicit in arbitrary canon formation, across a range of disciplines. The book argues, ultimately, that a second theory of influence, imported from Mary Orrs work on intertextuality, affords a rival perspective and amore positive, intergenerational meaning of influence. Orrs braided rope theory of influence allows for the development of a plurality of canons each capable of constructing new histories for a variety of epistemic communities. The existence of agonistic, rival canons presents pedagogical questions for all teachers of political theory, but one that can be potentially navigated by a new understanding of influence, in the Orrian tradition.</p>...4062866Canon Controversies in Political Thought9621069https://www.gandhi.com.mx/canon-controversies-in-political-thought-9783030413613/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2584249/18c2cf53-2650-40d2-b5fe-d7a0dcc0ba32.jpg?v=638384173592230000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209783030413613_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9783030413613_<p>This book explores the meaning of influence, which has played a central role in the formation of the canon, or tradition, of Western political thought.
