Synopsis
Its preoccupation is obviously familiar, but its approach attempts to go beyond such questions as the difference between normative and positive, and to show instead how people in Western civilization have attempted to elucidate the distinctions and then reconcile them. It begins with the bold integration of Aristotle and ends with the courageous acknowledgement of fragmentation in the work Foucault. In between, it examines the attempts of Hegel and Marx to transform the fragmentation of history into a totality of understanding. Max Weber's attach on the 'iron cage of reason' (which in some respects points forward to Foucault), and Adorno's reflections on the relationship between history, reason and aesthetics.
