In the late 1960s, a whole pantheon of thinkers regarding
themselves as radicals stole a part of the anarchic praxis of late
capitalism, turned it into philosophy, and with the resulting set
of views turned against the foundations of the system in a
purportedly radical gesture. Postmodernism was the name for the
superficially revolutionary culture which then came into existence.
The thought of the late left appears as the subsequent response to
the cunning of the system. The main figures of Farewell to
Postmodernism are Perry Anderson, David Harvey, Fredric Jameson,
Terry Eagleton and Slavoj Zizek. The book provides an encyclopaedic
introduction to their work, while at the same time seeking to grasp
the current trajectory of radical thought.
