It presents a powerful and eloquent case against postmodernism, and breathes new life into the debates about power and domination, transcendence and eternity. Addressing topics such as architecture, cinema, painting, poetry, the Holocaust and Judaism, Gillian Rose enables us to connect ideas about the individual and society with theories of justice.

Adorno's continuation for his own time of the Marxist critique of philosophy is traced through his writings on Hegel, Kierkegaard, Husserl and Heidegger. His opposition to the separation of philosophy and sociology is shown by examination of his critique of Durkheim and Weber, and of his contributions to the dispute over positivism, his critique of empirical social research and his own empirical sociology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gillian Rose shows Adorno's most important contribution to be his founding of a Marxist aesthetic that offers a sociology of culture, as demonstrated in his essays on Kafka, Mann, Beckett, Brecht and Schönberg. Finally, Adorno's 'Melancholy Science' is revealed to offer a 'sociology of illusion' that rivals both structural Marxism and phenomenological sociology as well as the subsequent work of the Frankfurt School.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377626448095,"sku":"9781781681527","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/882qOG344I9781781681527.webp?v=1789236225"},{"product_id":"judaism-and-modernity-philosophical-essays-paperback","title":"Judaism and Modernity: Philosophical Essays - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA reinterpretation of thinkers from Benjamin and Rosenzweig to Simone Weil and Derrida\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJudaism and Modernity: Philosophical Essays\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the philosophical presentation of Judaism as the sublime 'other' of modernity.

In perhaps her most significant work, \u003ci\u003eHegel Contra Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e, Rose mounts a forceful defence of Hegelian speculative thought. Demonstrating how, in his criticisms of Kant and Fichte, Hegel supplies a preemptive critique of Weber, Durkheim, and all of the sociological traditions that stem from these \"neo-Kantian\" thinkers, Rose argues that any attempt to preserve Marxism from a similar critique and any attempt to renew sociology cannot succeed without coming to terms with Hegel's own speculative discourse. With an analysis of Hegel's mature works in light of his early radical writings, this book represents a profound step toward enacting just such a return to the Hegelian.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377640112351,"sku":"9781844673544","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/yRfpDSnDKo9781844673544.webp?v=1789236262"},{"product_id":"loves-work-paperback","title":"Love's Work - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove's Work\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a memoir and a work of philosophy. Written by the English philosopher Gillian Rose as she was dying of cancer, it is a book about both the fallibility and the endurance of love, love that becomes real and lasting through an ongoing reckoning with its own limitations. Rose looks back on her childhood, the complications of her parents' divorce and her dyslexia, and her deep and divided feelings about what it means to be Jewish. She tells the stories of several friends also laboring under the sentence of death. From the sometimes conflicting vantage points of her own and her friends' tales, she seeks to work out (seeks, because the work can never be complete--to be alive means to be incomplete) a distinctive outlook on life, one that will do justice to our yearning both for autonomy and for connection to others. With droll self-knowledge (\"I am highly qualified in unhappy love affairs,\" Rose writes, \"My earliest unhappy love affair was with Roy Rogers\") and with unsettling wisdom (\"To live, to love, is to be failed\"), Rose has written a beautiful, tender, tough, and intricately wrought survival kit packed with necessary but unanswerable questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51397102338271,"sku":"9781590173657","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/0lSrh4ybGI9781590173657.webp?v=1789463535"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/gillian-rose.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
