In this outstanding introduction, Julian Young explains and assesses the two dominant traditions in modern German philosophy – critical theory and phenomenology – by examining the following key thinkers and topics:
Max Weber’s setting the agenda for modern German philosophy: the ‘rationalization’ and ‘disenchantment’ of modernity resulting in ‘loss of freedom’ and ‘loss of meaning’
Horkheimer and Adorno: rationalization and the ‘culture industry’
Habermas’ defence of Enlightenment rationalization, the ‘unfinished project of modernity’
Marcuse: a Freud-based vision of a repression-free utopia
Husserl: overcoming the ‘crisis of humanity’ through phenomenology
Early Heidegger’s existential phenomenology: ‘authenticity’ as loyalty to ‘heritage’
Gadamer and ‘fusion of horizons’
Arendt: the human condition
Later Heidegger: the re-enchantment of reality.
