Farewell to Postmodernism : Social Theories of the Late Left Hardback
by Bartosz Kuzniarz
Part of the Modernity in Question series
Hardback
Description
In the late 1960s, a whole pantheon of thinkers regarding themselves as radicals stole a part of the anarchic praxis of late capitalism, turned it into philosophy, and with the resulting set of views turned against the foundations of the system in a purportedly radical gesture.
Postmodernism was the name for the superficially revolutionary culture which then came into existence.
The thought of the late left appears as the subsequent response to the cunning of the system. The main figures of Farewell to Postmodernism are Perry Anderson, David Harvey, Fredric Jameson, Terry Eagleton and Slavoj Žižek.
The book provides an encyclopaedic introduction to their work, while at the same time seeking to grasp the current trajectory of radical thought.
