The work of Carlo Michelstaedter (1887-1910) was the first to
analyze modernist philosophy in strict connection with social
changes in mass society. Revealing how Michelstaedter was able to
unveil the relations between pivotal early-modernist philosophies
and social restructurings, The Wreckage of Philosophy examines the
ongoing processes of "specialization," "rationalization," and
"atomization." It points out how Michelstaedter connected the main
theoretical expressions of modernism with the decisive social
transformations of the early twentieth century, taking into
consideration the key players of modernist philosophy, such as
Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Ernst Mach, and William James.
By following Michelstaedter's analysis and strategies, The Wreckage
of Philosophy focuses on several intertwined issues: the distinct
philosophical positions within the modernist area; the connections
between philosophy and modernist literature; the relations between
intellectual positions and social upheavals; and the
early-twentieth-century links among traditional philosophy,
critique of language, and epistemology of technique.
