This title was first published in 2002: Culture and Enlightenment
are the two words that best characterise the essence of GyArgy
Markus's career, in whose honour this book is published. Markus
devoted the last twenty years of research towards a theory of
cultural objectivations and their pragmatics, and the great depth
of his knowledge of the history of culture and philosophy informs
all his teaching and writing. The pursuit of Enlightenment ideals
attains reflective self-consciousness in Markus' works; forged in
the knowledge of its own historicity, of the embeddedness of
rationalities in culture and in an awareness of the paradoxes that
cling to the conscious affirmation of ideals which are no longer
self evident or beyond questioning. In taking up the challenge of
these paradoxes, Markus spans the whole history of modern
philosophy and culture with a matchless authority. This book draws
together contributions from leading figures in contemporary
philosophy, who are also friends, colleagues and former students of
GyArgy Markus. The book is divided into two sections: the first
presents critical assessments of various aspects of Markus'
wide-ranging works; the second presents contributions in
celebration of his influence and his wide interests. In their
critical assessment of Markus' work and in the demonstration of his
influence, the contributors hope to convey something of the breadth
and something of the excitement of doing philosophy in the company
of GyArgy Markus.
