Product Description

Review
“This book does much more than reassess certain currents in poststructuralism by returning to its preoccupation with such writers as the Jena Romantics, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud. This book reminds us that poststructuralism is indeed only part of a larger coming to terms with philosophical issues of post-enlightenment theory. The writing in this book is characterized by integrity, care, andand brilliance. What is remarkable about this book is less its overall conception than its superb execution.” ― Alice Kuzniar, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
