Fin De Siècle Socialism And Other Essays

Routledge Revivals Fin de Siècle Socialism Fin de Siècle Socialism, originally published in 1988, demonstrates the lively potential for cultural criticism in intellectual history. Reflecting upon such controversies as the Habermas-Gadamer debate, the deconstructionist challenge to synoptic analysis and the neo-populist critique of hierarchy in the humanities, Professor Jay argues for an engaged historical approach that fully acknowledges its inevitable entanglement in the theoretical and political issues of the day. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of modern European history, political and social theory.
