In this book Peter Dews explores some of the most urgent problems
confronting contemporary European thought: the status of the
subject after postmodernism, the ethical and existential dimensions
of critical theory, the encounter between psychoanalysis and
philosophy, and the possibilities of a non-foundational
metaphysical thinking. His approach cuts across the hostile
boundaries which that usually separate different theoretical
traditions. Lacan and the Frankfurt School are brought into
dialogue, as are deconstruction and Ricoeur's hermeneutics. Current
questions of language, communication and critique are located in a
broader context, as the author ranges back over the history of
modern philosophy, from poststructuralism-via Nietzsche-to German
romanticism and idealism. A wide variety of issues is discussed in
the book, including Habermas's views on the ethics of nature,
Lacan's theory of Oedipal crisis, the relation between writing and
the lifeworld in Derrida, and Schelling's philosophy of the "Ages
of the World." The volume is also enlivened by forceful critiques
of a range of currently influential thinkers, including Michel
Foucault, Richard Rorty, Rodolphe Gasche and Slavoj Zizek.
