Endgames: The Irreconcilable Nature of Modernity: Essays and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wellmer, Albrecht / Midgley, David, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), A common ong>theong>me of this set of thirteen ong>essaysong> by one of ong>theong> major figures in contemporary German philosophy is ong>theong> idea of a postmetaphysical modernity. In his preface Wellmer relates ong>theong> title of his book, "Endgames," to this common ong>theong>me: ong>Theong> historical utopias of ong>theong> Marxist tradition and ong>theong> programs of ultimate justification in ong>theong> Kantian tradition are both endgames "within" metaphysics, ong>theong> deconstruction of those utopias and programs of ultimate justification are endgames played "with" metaphysics, and ong>theong> game with an end as ultimate telos--ong>theong> end(s) of history, ong>theong> end(s) of knowledge, ong>theong> end(s) of human life--is metaphysics. ong>Theong> title, "Endgames," finally also refers polemically to postmodernist games with an end of modernity; as opposed to ong>theong>se, Wellmer defends ong>theong> fragile moral and political substance of ong>theong> modernity that postmodernists attempt to overcome--and that sense of what needs to be preserved of ong>theong> modern tradition for a postmetaphysical modernity is what makes his writings unique. In ong>theong> first of ong>theong> book's three parts, "Negative and Communicative Freedom," Wellmer focuses on political philosophy, examining in particular ong>theong> links and tensions between liberal basic rights and modern ideas of democracy. In Part II, "Postmetaphysical Perspectives," he attempts to develop a postmetaphysical perspective on aesong>theong>tics and metaphysics (with and against Adorno), on ong>theong> problem of truth (with and against Richard Rorty, Jurgen Habermas, and Karl-Otto Apel), and on hermeneutics (with and against Hans-Georg Gadamer and Karl-Otto Apel). Part III, "Images of ong>theong> Times," contains occasional pieces on Ludwig Wittgenstein, ong>theong> Frankfurt School, Hans Jonas, and architecture. ong>Theong> book closes with an appended critical essay on Hannah Arendt, reflecting ong>theong> importance of Arendt's political philosophy to Wellmer's work.
