In Modernism and Time, Ronald Schleifer analyses the transition
from the Enlightenment to post-Enlightenment ways of understanding
in Western thought. Schleifer argues that this transition in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth century expresses itself
centrally in an altered conception of temporality. He examines this
period's remarkable breaks with the past in literature, music, and
the arts more generally. Whereas Enlightenment thought sees time as
a homogenous, neutral medium, in which events and actions take
place, post-Enlightenment thought sees time as discontinuous and
inexorably bound up with both the subjects and events that seem to
inhabit it. This fundamental change of perception, Schleifer
argues, takes place across disciplines as varied as physics,
economics and philosophy. Schleifer's study engages with the work
of writers and thinkers as varied as George Eliot, Walter Benjamin,
Einstein and Russell, and offers a powerful reassessment of the
politics and culture of modernism.
