Terms of Cultural Criticism - The Frankfurt School, Existentialism, Poststructuralism

Informationen zum Autor Richard Wolin Klappentext Despite their differences in origin! the three influential schools of twentieth-century continental cultural criticism----the Frankfurt School! existentialism! and poststructuralism----have long been treated as an ensemble and with critical hesitancy. Examining these schools as responses to the apparent collapse of Western civilization in the twentieth-century and as formidable intellectual challenges to the cultural legacies of the Enlightenment! this book provides a productive base for criticism and broadens our understanding of their histories and reception. Zusammenfassung Entering into the debate between three schools of thought - the Frankfurt School! existentialism and poststructuralism - this text reflects on the ways in which Enlightenment precepts! rather than being fundamentally mistaken! have historically miscarried.
