Bøger af Dr. Ross Abbinnett

The author traces the debate from the "objectifying powers" of Kant through more than 200 years of critique and reformulation to the unravelling of the debate by Lyotard, Foucault and Derrida. The book includes a look at the collapse of modernity and the rise of new forms of thought.

Originally published in hardcover in 2013 by Bloomsbury Academic.

This incisive and timely book provides a concise and reliable guide to the debate on modernity and postmodernity. What emerges most forcefully from the book is the error of dismissing postmodernism as a self-indulgent and ultimately, dangerous piece of ideology.
