Dans ce climat général d'anesthésie contemporaine, dans la course à l'informatisation et à la recrudescence du religieux cachant mal des modes de pensée autoritaires, dans le cynisme ambiant du nouvel ordre international et du réveil brutal des nationalismes, en ces temps niais où le brouillage des repères incite les nantis à proclamer la venue du "dernier homme" (Fukuyama), en cette période où la philosophie (certaines philosophies occidentales ! ) semble démissionner dans sa lutte contre ...

Provides a single-volume introduction to the important connection of Frankfurt School thought and modernist cultureTyrus Miller's book offers readers a focused introduction to the Frankfurt School's important attempts to relate the social, political, and philosophical conditions of modernity to innovations in twentieth-century art, literature, and culture. The book pursues this interaction of modernity and modernist aesthetics in a two-sided, dialectical approach. Not only, Miller suggests, can the Frankfurt School's penetrating critical analyses of the phenomena of modernity help us develop more nuanced, historically informed and contextually sensitive analyses of modernist culture; but also, modernist culture provides a field of problems, examples, and practices that intimately affected the formation of the Frankfurt School's theoretical ideas. The individual chapters, which include detailed discussions of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse as well as a survey of later Frankfurt School influenced thinkers, discuss the ideas of a given figure with an emphasis on particular artistic media or contexts: Benjamin with lyric poetry and architecture as urban art forms; Adorno with music; Marcuse with the liberationist art performances and happenings of the 1960s. Key Features: * Introduces well-studied major figures such as Benjamin and Adorno in a new light, while connecting their ideas with problems in modernist art and culture *Offers a clear, thorough, and relevant survey of major ideas and figures *Provides a revisionary view of the rigorous connection of Frankfurt School theory and modernist culture

El texto pretende un desarrollo espistemológico basado en la apropiación crítica de del marxismo de la "introducción" de 1857, y de algunos autores que, más tarde, han llevado a cabo profundizaciones metodológicas y espistemológicas, como Galvano della Volpe, Karel Kosik y Erns Bloch, entre otros. Este libro constituye una reflexión epismológica en torno al concepto de razón crítica; busca transformarlo en el núcleo de una metodología dinámica que sea capaz de aprehender la realidad social, heterogénea y en constante movimiento.

This book offers an archeology of the undeveloped potential of mathematics for critical theory. As Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno first conceived of the critical project in the 1930s, critical theory steadfastly opposed the mathematization of thought. Mathematics flattened thought into a dangerous positivism that led reason to the barbarism of World War II. The Mathematical Imagination challenges this narrative, showing how for other German-Jewish thinkers, such as Gershom Scholem, Franz Rosenzweig, and Siegfried Kracauer, mathematics offered metaphors to negotiate the crises of modernity during the Weimar Republic. Influential theories of poetry, messianism, and cultural critique, Handelman shows, borrowed from the philosophy of mathematics, infinitesimal calculus, and geometry in order to refashion cultural and aesthetic discourse. Drawn to the austerity and muteness of mathematics, these friends and forerunners of the Frankfurt School found in mathematical approaches to negativity strategies to capture the marginalized experiences and perspectives of Jews in Germany. Their vocabulary, in which theory could be both mathematical and critical, is missing from the intellectual history of critical theory, whether in the work of second generation critical theorists such as Jürgen Habermas or in contemporary critiques of technology. The Mathematical Imagination shows how Scholem, Rosenzweig, and Kracauer’s engagement with mathematics uncovers a more capacious vision of the critical project, one with tools that can help us intervene in our digital and increasingly mathematical present.

"The book’s original contribution to contemporary conceptual history – particularly in the field of political and sociological intellectual histories – consists of mapping of the concept of articulation as an Ariadne’s thread that can shed light on conceptualisations of society and their shifts. As the author of the book rightly emphasizes, the metaphors that theorists use to describe society are not only words but concrete attempts to grasp the social as well as normative approaches that indicate how to best organize it. That is, societal metaphors are not neutral. The topic is of enormous importance for sociological and political analysts in particular". — Dr Sara R. Farris, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths College, University of London This open access book is the first book that attempts to treat the notion of articulation as an important concept to be added to the lexicon of communication studies and social science. It constitutes the first comprehensive and systematic discussion of ‘articulation’ in English, providing an introduction of its usages and what has occurred on its ‘travels’ from one theoretical realm to another in political philosophy, structural linguistics, new economic anthropology, cultural studies and post-Marxist discourse theory. The proposed research takes a relational approach to society and social action in a way that recognises their relative autonomy. It entails an introduction of the ‘discursive turn’ in the imagery of society and social change, thereby proving that the relational concept of articulation/Gliederung has potential to consider society as both a structured, complex whole and a product of human interaction.
