History and Totality - Radical Historicism From Hegel to Foucault

Informationen zum Autor John Grumley Zusammenfassung In this work, originally published in 1989, the author establishes a tradition of radical historicism from Hegel to the Budapenst School. He charts both its continuous evolution from the early 19th century to the late 20thh, and its transformation in the context of European social, economic and cultural change. Through a reappraisal of historical interpretation from Hegel to Foucault, the book demonstrates the contemporary relevance of radical historicism. It includes detailed analyses of Marx, Dilthey, Simmel, Weber, Lukácks, Horkheimer, Adorno and Habermas. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part 1: Birth of the Emancipatory, Historicist Concept of Totality 1.
