Im Blickpunkt dieses Bandes steht das Wechselverhaltnis zweier pragender Traditionen moderner deutschsprachiger Philosophie: der Kritischen Theorie und der Philosophischen Anthropologie. Uber das gesamte 20. Jahrhundert hinweg blieb der Austausch zwischen diesen Ansatzen, wo er uberhaupt zu Stande kam, von Vorbehalten gepragt. Gegenwartig allerdings lasst sich, jenseits uberkommener schulpolitischer Graben, ein neuartiges Interesse beider Stromungen fureinander wahrnehmen.

Die Beitrage dieses Bandes treffen sich in dem Versuch, die jeweiligen Hauptanliegen und Gegenstandsfelder der...

Narrative Theory and Adaptation offers a concise introduction to narrative theory in jargon-free language and shows how this theory can be deployed to interpret Spike Jonze's critically acclaimed 2002 film Adaptation.

Understanding narrative theory is crucial to make sense of the award-winning film Adaptation. The book explicates, in clear prose for beginners, four key facets important to the narrative theory of film: the distinction between practical vs. critical theory, the role of adaptation, the process of narrative comprehension, and notions of authorship....

In 1980, at the end of the most intensely political period of his work and life, Louis Althusser penned Philosophy for Non-philosophers. Available here for the first time in English, Philosophy for Non-philosophers constitutes a rigorous and engaged attempt to address a wide reading public unfamiliar with Althusser's project. As such, the work is a concentration of the most fundamental theses of Althusser's own ideas, and presents a synthesis of his sprawling and disparate philosophical and political writings. Nowhere else does Althusser push the distinction between...

Though inspired by a Panofskyan legacy, this book diverges at certain points from Erwin Panofsky's declared objectives, and calls attention to several of aspects that were until now less accentuated in his intellectual reception. Insisting on the importance of iconology as a method for art history and the humanities in general, it shows how examining this promotes a cooperation between the history of art and the history of philosophy. It discusses whether Panofsky's method could be of use for general questions in the epistemology of the historical sciences that examine human works....

'Habermas and Giddens on Modernity: A Constructive Comparison' investigates how two of the most important and influential contemporary social theorists have sought to develop the modernist visions of the constitution of society through the autonomous actions of subjects. It compares Habermas and Giddens' conceptions of the constitution of society, interpretations of the social-structural impediments to subjects' autonomy, and their attempts to delineate potentials for progressive social change within contemporary society. Habermas and Giddens are shown to have initiated new paradigms and...

Der Band befasst sich mit der in der politischen Philosophie gefuhrten Diskussion um die (Nicht-) Vereinbarkeit von Vernunft und Herrschaft. Der bis auf Platon zuruckreichende Versuch, Herrschaft (als) rational zu begrunden, wird anhand seiner klassischen Varianten von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart auf seinen Vernunftanspruch hin kritisch analysiert. Mittels immanenter (Ideologie-)Kritik werden die Widerspruche in der begrifflichen Argumentation aufgedeckt und als Erscheinungen einer widerspruchlich verfassten gesellschaftlichen Ordnung dechiffriert, deren Herrschaftscharakter dem...
