Abstract

Nicholas Onuf's book, "International theory at the margins: neglected essays, recurring themes," is a collection of 13 essays that explore various themes in international relations. The book is divided into three parts: "Politics: deciding what matters," "Ethics: doing what we should," and "Semantics: saying what we see." Onuf draws on the works of philosophers such as Aristotle, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault to address topics such as power, language, metaphors, rules, and social constructivism. While the book may be challenging to understand at times, it offers valuable insights into the field of international relations. [Extracted from the article]
