In his preface Wellmer relates ong>theong> title ong>ofong> his book, "Endgames," to this common ong>theong>me: ong>Theong> historical utopias ong>ofong> ong>theong> Marxist tradition and ong>theong> programs ong>ofong> ultimate justification in ong>theong> Kantian tradition are both endgames "within" metaphysics, ong>theong> deconstruction ong>ofong> those utopias and programs ong>ofong> ultimate justification are endgames played "with" metaphysics, and ong>theong> game with an end as ultimate telos--ong>theong> end(s) ong>ofong> history, ong>theong> end(s) ong>ofong> knowledge, ong>theong> end(s) ong>ofong> human life--is metaphysics. ong>Theong> title, "Endgames," finally also refers polemically to postmodernist games with an end ong>ofong> modernity; as opposed to ong>theong>se, Wellmer defends ong>theong> fragile moral and political substance ong>ofong> ong>theong> modernity that postmodernists attempt to overcome--and that sense ong>ofong> what needs to be preserved ong>ofong> ong>theong> modern tradition for a postmetaphysical modernity is what makes his writings unique.

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 ong>ofong> 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 ong>ofong> 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 ong>ofong> Arendt's political philosophy to Wellmer's work.
