The rise of majoritarian governance across the world is a cause of concern. One of the reasons for this would be the withering of values in general and politics in particular. However, this is only a consequence of the deep-rooted crisis of political philosophy. Anil Kumar in his new book has made an effort to explore some of these aspects. The chapters are accommodated in two sections: (a) Political Philosophy, in which the works of Hannah Arendt, Paul Freire and Antonio Gramsci, interpretive theory and others were discussed, and (b) Politics and Governance. This review focuses on political philosophy in general, with a particular emphasis on the Marxian concept of the state and its need for the change. This is done with a view of further strengthening the theoretical underpinnings of the Marxian state. Such a contemporary change improves upon the extent of pragmatism of the political theory, thereby deepening the social legitimacy of the state in a given society.- Reproduced
