Ends in Sight: Marx/Fukuyama/Hobsbawm/Anderson
ISBN: 9780745327624 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Following the disappearance of the Soviet Union, scholars across the political spectrum tackled the world-historical significance of the end of communism. This book addresses the balance-sheets of modern political history offered by three writers---Francis Fukuyama, Eric Hobsbawm and Perry Anderson---comparing them with the future projected by Marx in The Communist Manifesto. Gregory Elliott argues that Marx is central to all three accounts and that, along with the Manifesto, they form a quartet of analyses of the results and prospects of capitalism and socialism, which are of...

Hobsbawm: History and Politics
ISBN: 9780745328447 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Historian Eric Hobsbawm is possibly the foremost chronicler of the modern age.

At the same time, his writings on labour movements and socialist politics have occupied a central place in left-wing debates. Despite this, no extended study of Hobsbawm's work has yet been attempted Gregory Elliott fills this gap in exemplary fashion.

The Mediocracy: French Philosophy Since the Mid-1970s
ISBN: 9781859844304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Generating great controversy on its publication in France, this book argues that a counter-revolution in intellectual life has seen the period of the master thinkers of the 1960s succeeded by an era of generalized mediocrity. Where Althusser or Lacan, Foucault or Derrida once held centre stage, today restorationist currents prevail in academia and on television. The author discusses how, fuelled by a complaisant media, contemporary French ideology seeks neither to interpret nor change the world, but is instead content to legitimize a globally hegemonic neo-liberalism.
