German Philosophy in the Twentieth Century: Weber to Heidegger

Autor Julian Young
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mai 2018
The course of German philosophy in the twentieth century is one of the most exciting, diverse and controversial periods in the history of human thought. It is widely studied and its legacy hotly contested.
In this outstanding introduction, Julian Young explains and assesses the two dominant traditions in modern German philosophy – critical theory and phenomenology – by examining the following key thinkers and topics:
  • Max Weber’s setting the agenda for modern German philosophy: the ‘rationalization’ and ‘disenchantment’ of modernity resulting in ‘loss of freedom’ and ‘loss of meaning’
  • Horkheimer and Adorno: rationalization and the ‘culture industry’
  • Habermas’ defence of Enlightenment rationalization, the ‘unfinished project of modernity’
  • Marcuse: a Freud-based vision of a repression-free utopia
  • Husserl: overcoming the ‘crisis of humanity’ through phenomenology
  • Early Heidegger’s existential phenomenology: ‘authenticity’ as loyalty to ‘heritage’
  • Gadamer and ‘fusion of horizons’
  • Arendt: the human condition
  • Later Heidegger: the re-enchantment of reality.
German Philosophy in the Twentieth Century: Weber to Heidegger is essential reading for students of German philosophy, phenomenology and critical theory, and will also be of interest to students in related fields such as literature, religious studies, and political theory.

Recenzii

'Julian Young’s book on the history of twentieth-century Germanphilosophy is not only a precise, instructive and critical exposition of the work of Adorno, Husserl and Heidegger (among others). It is also a prime example of applied historiographical methodology with respect to some of these problems. Young’s original approach to philosophical historiography resonates throughout the text. His remarkable sensitivity for political and theoretical issues expresses itself through a brilliant and clear prose.' - Francesco Pisano, Phenomenological Reviews
'An incomparably lucid, thoughtful, and provocative introduction to German philosophy in the early twentieth century. Nobody explains the historical contexts and inner dynamics of this period of philosophy more clearly than Julian Young; and no other book on the philosophical foundations of hermeneutics, phenomenology and critical theory is as comprehensive, accessible, and engrossing.' - Stephan Käufer, Franklin & Marshall College, USA
'Julian Young shows that the distance between Frankfurt am Main to Freiburg im Breisgau is less than one thinks. Throughout the twentieth century, both critical theorists and phenomenologists were responding to Max Weber’s modernity critique. Their paths intersected around a cluster of concepts whose family resemblances are unmistakable: rationalization, reification, enframing, one-dimensionality, crisis of humanity, crisis of authority, orientation crisis, etc. Young’s account of these affinities is reliable and provocative.' - Andrew Cutrofello, Loyola University Chicago, USA
'An invaluable map for those who wish to travel, with a judicious guide, from Frankfurt (critical theory) to Freiburg (phenomenology). Young's hypothesis that both philosophical traditions are responding to a crisis in modern life - a crisis of freedom, and perhaps more fundamentally, a crisis of meaning - provides an extremely helpful frame within which we can understand and assess the respective "cures" on offer in some of the very best philosophy of the last century.' - Joseph Schear, University of Oxford, UK
