While one school of thought (Deleuze, Negri) seeks to create a new ontology based on the many instead of the one, (which, politically, is close to anarchy), another proposes to understand the \"one\" as the \"ultra-one\" of the event (Badiou). In this groundbreaking work, leading thinkers explore these debates and offer alternative concepts. Building on Jean-Luc Nancy's essay who proposes an ontology of \"singular plurality,\" contributors aim to synthesize the one and the many and suggest different ways of forming collectives, beyond the dominant representative political forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn original and challenging work, \u003ci\u003ePolitics of the One\u003c\/i\u003e addresses new possible ways of bringing people together, integrating philosophy with theoretical and practical problems of politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtemy Magun\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Democratic Theory, Chair of the Department of Political Science and Sociology at the European University at Saint-Petersburg.
