abstract = "This collection assembles key essays of Reiner Sch{\"u}rmann centering on the concepts of anarchy and the singularization to come. Setting out from the question of the status of practical philosophy at the end of metaphysics, these texts track the crucial role of Sch{\"u}rmann{\textquoteright}s engagement with the work of Michel Foucault between 1983 and 1991. Drawing on his highly original reading of the philosophical tradition, Sch{\"u}rmann traces the status of identity and difference in Foucault{\textquoteright}s conception of history to develop a radical phenomenological understanding of anarchy. The texts pose the question of the fate of philosophy after the critique of the subject and the collapse of the divide between theory and praxis, philosophy and politics.Besides making Sch{\"u}rmann{\textquoteright}s seminal readings of Foucault widely available, the essay collection offers a concise and accessible introduction to Sch{\"u}rmann{\textquoteright}s thought and documents a shift in his thinking during the 1980s. Taken together, these pivotal essays introduce the reader to the entirety of Sch{\"u}rmann{\textquoteright}s most urgent concerns and assemble the conceptual tools for the project of his last book, Broken Hegemonies. This topology of broken hegemonies, which in many ways offers an alternative to Foucault{\textquoteright}s genealogical strategy, takes the form of a subversive re-reading of the history of Western metaphysics that urges our present relentlessly toward the singularization to come. To the reader unfamiliar with Sch{\"u}rmann{\textquoteright}s work, these texts establish him as one of the most radical thinkers of the late 20th century, whose work might eventually become legible in our present.",
