"Modernism as a Philosophical Problem, "Second Edition presents an
interpretation of the negative and critical self-understanding
characteristic of culture since romanticism and especially since
Nietzsche, and answers the question of why the issue of modernity
became a philosophical problem in European tradition.
Pippin defends an original re-narration of the development of
modern philosophy, substantially different from that common in
orthodox, postmodernist and critical theory discussions, and one
much more sensitive to the radicality of the most complete
expression and defense of a modernist self-understanding - the
classical German Idealist tradition, especially the position
defended by Hegel. This interpretation is the basis for the claim
that no paradigm shift, ideology critique, or new way of thinking
can dispense with or overcome such modernist aspirations. In fact,
the author argues, one can still detect the persistence of such
aspirations and commitments in some of the harshest modernity
critics, in Nietzsche and in Heidegger especially.
This unique and engaging view of modernity is an essential read
for students, academics, and researchers studying Modernism, 20th
Century Philosophy, Social Theory, and Hegel and German
Idealism.
