Full Description


This book challenges the current general mood of disillusionment of belief in progress. By confronting the nihilistic - Nietzsche and Heidegger - and the utopian -Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse - critiques of progress, it pursues a revitalization of the humanist tradition.

Contents

The Loewith-Blumenberg debate; longing for the eternal (Rousseau); how Nietzsche the hyperborean comes to grips with the brakes of history; Zarathustra's double will; the prophet of nothing (nihilism); the checkmate of reason (Max Weber); the anti-demon of dialectic (Horkeimer, Marcuse, Habermas, Adorno); the empyrean heights of technology (Habermas, Simpson, Marcuse).
