The introduction by Merold Westphal sets the scene: "Two books, two
visions of philosophy, two friends and sometimes colleagues...."
Modernity and Its Discontents is a debate between Caputo and Marsh
in which each upheld their opposing philosphical positions by
critical modernism and post-modernism. The book opens with a
critique of each debater of the other's previous work. With its
passionate point-counterpoint form, the book recalls the
philosphical dialogues of classical times, but the writing style
remains lucid and uncluttered. Taking the failure of Englightenment
ideals as their common ground, the debaters challenge each other's
ideas on the nature of post-foundationalist critique. At the core
of the argument lies the timely question of the role that each
person can play in creating a truly humane society.
