Synopsis

Fin de Siècle Socialism, originally published in 1988, demonstrates the lively potential for cultural criticism in intellectual history. Professor Jay discusses such controversies as the Habermas-Gadamer debate and the deconstructionist challenge to synoptic analysis. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of modern European history, political and social theory.

About this title

Review:

'A number of historians and critics would like to believe that intellectual history is - or should be - a thing of the past, a mere vestige of an older `mentality' that has been displaced by the movement of society and its up-to-date analysis. In these essays Martin Jay gives the lie to this belief, for he offers proof of the continued vitality of intellectual history particularly when it is brought into contact with critical theory.' - Dominick LaCapra
