Philosophy in the middle of the 20th Century, between 1920 and
1968, responded to the cataclysmic events of the time. Thinkers on
the Right turned to authoritarian forms of nationalism in search of
stable forms of collective identity, will, and purpose. Thinkers on
the Left promoted egalitarian forms of humanism under the banner of
international communism. Others saw these opposed tendencies as
converging in the extinction of the individual and sought to
retrieve the ideals of the Enlightenment in ways that critically
acknowledged the contradictions of a liberal democracy racked by
class, cultural, and racial conflict. Key figures and movements
discussed in this volume include Schmitt, Adorno and the Frankfurt
School, Arendt, Benjamin, Bataille, French Marxism, Black
Existentialism, Saussure and Structuralism, Levi Strauss, Lacan and
Late Pragmatism. These individuals and schools of thought responded
to this 'modernity crisis' in different ways, but largely focused
on what they perceived to be liberal democracy's betrayal of its
own rationalist ideals of freedom, equality, and fraternity.
