Lyotard And The End Of Grand Narratives

by Gary K. Browning

~~44,86€~~ 40,37€ 10% OFF

 <p>Lyotard shook the cultural world in the late-twentieth century by announcing postmodernism and the end of grand narratives. He captured a feeling of unease about the standpoint of great modern thinkers who claimed to have resolved the big problems of epistemology, society and history. Now, after the first quarter of the twenty-first century, it is apposite to review Lyotard’s observations, which always contained more than soundbites about the end of modernity - just as there is more to Hegel and Marx than the passing of modernist certainties - and this book reviews the whole of Lyotard’s work, adopting a critical attitude to his thinking. It similarly resists taking the thought of Hegel, Marx and other grand theorists for granted, considering them appropriately to arrive at a critical reframing of modern thought in the light of Lyotard’s postmodern perspective.</p>

In opposition to Hobbes, Immanuel Kant develops a theory of international and cosmopolitan right, in which state sovereignty is matched by a gradually developing world federation of peaceful states. In this way, Kant opposes Hobbess materialist moral theory with a moral theory based on both self and the community. This study examines the relationship between the two thinkers, demonstrating the viable alternative to Hobbess orthodoxy found in Kants political writings; it also shows how Kant anticipates the development of a worldwide political order, and suggests that through Kants political philosophy the sovereignty of the people in</p>
