Picture Imperfect: Utopian Thought for an Anti-Utopian Age
ISBN: 9780231128957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The choice we have is not between reasonable proposals and an unreasonable utopianism. Utopian thinking does not undermine or discount real reforms. Indeed, it is almost the opposite: practical reforms depend on utopian dreaming."--Russell Jacoby, Picture Imperfect Utopianism suffers from an image problem: A recent exhibition on utopias in Paris and New York included photographs of Hitler's Mein Kampf and a Nazi concentration camp. Many observers judge utopians and their sympathizers as foolhardy dreamers at best and murderous totalitarians at worst. However, as noted...

The Last Intellectuals: American Culture in the Age of Academe
ISBN: 9780465036257 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This provocative book chronicles the disappearance of the public intellectual in America. For over thirty years, the cultural landscape has been dominated by the generation of Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and John Kenneth Galbraith; no younger group has arisen to succeed them. Unlike earlier intellectuals who lived in urban bohemias and wrote for the educated public, today's thinkers have flocked to the universities, where the politics of tenure loom larger than the politics of culture. In an incisive and passionate polemic, Russell Jacoby examines how gentrification, suburbanization, and...

Social Amnesia: A Critique of Contemporary Psychology
ISBN: 9781560008927 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Russell Jacoby defines social amnesia as society's repression of remembrance--society's own past. In this book, Jacoby excavates the critical and historical concepts that have fallen prey to the dynamic of a society that strips them both of their historical and critical content. Social Amnesia is an effort to remember what is perpetually lost under the pressure of society. It is simultaneously a critique of present practices and theories in psychology. Jacoby's new self-evaluation has the same sharp edge as the book itself, offering special insights into the evolution of psychological...

The Repression of Psychoanalysis: Otto Fenichel and the Political Freudians
ISBN: 9780226390697 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. By examining the private correspondence of a circle of German psychoanalyst emigres that included Otto Fenichel, Annie Reich, and Edith Jacobson, Russell Jacoby recaptures the radical zeal of classical analysis and the efforts of the Fenichel group to preserve psychoanalysis as a social and political theory, open to a broad range of intellectuals regardless of their medical background. In tracing this effort, he illuminates the repression by psychoanalysis of its own radical past and its transformation into a narrow medical technique. This book is of critical interest to the general reader as...

The End of Utopia: Politics and Culture in an Age of Apathy
ISBN: 9780465020010 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. We are facing the end of politics altogether, Russell Jacoby argues in The End of Utopia. Political contestation is premised on people's capacity for offering competing visions of the future, but in a world that has run out of political ideas and no longer harbors any utopian visions, real political opposition is no longer possible. In particular, Jacoby traces the demise of liberal and leftist politics. Leftist intellectuals and critics no longer envision a different society, only a modified one. The left once dismissed the market as exploitative, but now honors it as rational and...

Dialectic of Defeat: Contours of Western Marxism
ISBN: 9780521520171 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Observing that for both revolutionaries and capitalists, nothing succeeds like success, Russell Jacoby asks us to reexamine a loser of Marxism: the unorthodox Marxism of Western Europe. The author begins with a polemical attack on 'conformist' or orthodox Marxism, in which he includes structuralist schools. He argues that a cult of success and science drained this Marxism of its critical impulse and that the successes of the Russian and Chinese revolutions encouraged a mechanical and fruitless mimicry. He then turns to a Western alternative that neither succumbed to the spell of success nor...

Bloodlust: On the Roots of Violence from Cain and Abel to the Present
ISBN: 9781451620818 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND ACROSS CULTURES, the most common form of violence is that between family members and neighbors or kindred communities--in civil wars writ large and small. From assault to genocide, from assassination to massacre, violence usually emerges from inside the fold. You have more to fear from a spouse, an ex-spouse, or a coworker than you do from someone you don't know.
In this brilliant polemic, Russell Jacoby argues that violence erupts most often, and most savagely, between those of us most closely related. An Indian nationalist assassinated Mohandas Gandhi, "the...
