Barbarism: Continuum Impacts

Autor Michel Henry Traducere de Professor Scott Davidson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2012
Barbarism represents acritique, from the perspective of Michel Henry's unique philosophy of life, ofthe increasing potential of science and technology to destroy the roots ofculture and the value of the individual human being. For Henry, barbarismis the result of a devaluation of human life and culture that can betraced back to the spread of quantification, the scientific method andtechnology over all aspects of modern life. The book develops a compellingcritique of capitalism, technology and education and provides a powerfulinsight into the political implications of Henry's work. It also opens up a newdialogue with other influential cultural critics, such as Marx, Husserl, and Heidegger.
 
First published in French in 1987, Barbarismaroused great interest as well as virulent criticism. Today the bookreveals what for Henry is a cruel reality: the tragic feeling of powerlessnessexperienced by the cultured person. Above all he argues for the importanceof returning to philosophy in order to analyse the root causes ofbarbarism in our world.

Recenzii

'Henry is one of the most exciting and radical thinkers of the last half-century. In this excellent translation of Barbarism, we get a sense of this radicalism is his critique of the "Galilean" principle - especially with regard to politics but also in his approach to art, ideology, technology, and education. It will be an invaluable addition to his other works already in English.'
'Scott Davidson delivers a much welcome translation of Michel Henry's provocative work on culture and critique. Barbarism is Henry's subtle radicalization of E. Husserl's analysis of the lifeworld and the crisis of the sciences. For Henry, the crisis is nothing short of barbarism: a reversal of culture which is revealed in the social, political, and epistemic practices that inhibit the self-movement of absolute Life. Yet the work itself, Barbarism, functions as a timely call to reverse this reversal, and to renew the dynamic intimacy of Self-knowledge.'
