Philosophical Interventions in the Unfinished Project of Enlightenment (Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought)

These 11 essays by noted philosophers and social theorists take up the philosophical aspects of Jürgen Habermas's unfinished project of reconstructing enlightenment rationality. They range in subject matter from classical problems to contemporary debates, covering historical perspectives, theoretical issues, and post-enlightenment challenges. A companion volume of essays will take up the cultural and political aspects of the work. Together, the two volumes underscore the richness and variety of Habermas's project.  Contributors: Karl-Otto Apel. Richard J. Bernstein. Peter Bürger. Martin Jay. Thomas McCarthy. Herbert Schnädelbach. Charles Taylor. Michael Theunissen. Ernst Tugendhat. Albrecht Wellmer.

Mit Pr

These lucid and closely reasoned studies of the thought of Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Jürgen Habermas, and Richard Rorty provide a coherent analysis of major pathways in recent critical theory. They defend a position analogous to Kant's - that ideas of reason are both unavoidable presuppositions of thought that have to be carefully reconstructed and persistent sources of illusions that have to be repeatedly deconstructed.  McCarthy examines the critique of impure reason from the complementary viewpoints of the attackers and defenders of Enlightenment rationality. He first analyzes the work of Rorty, Foucault, and Derrida to determine what these radical critics have contributed to our understanding of reason and where they have gone wrong. He explores Habermas's theory of communicative rationality, focusing on the attempt to go beyond hermeneutics, the incorporation of systems theory, the implications of discourse ethics for our understanding of political debate and collective decision making, and the relation of political theology to critical social theory.  The analysis and assessment of Habermas's recent work in Ideals and Illusions serves as a sequel to McCarthy's earlier study The Critical Theory of Jürgen Habermas.

Race, Empire, and the Idea of Human Development

In an exciting new study of ideas accompanying the rise of the West, Thomas McCarthy analyzes the ideologies of race and empire that were integral to European-American expansion. He highlights the central role that conceptions of human development (civilization, progress, modernization, and the like) played in answering challenges to legitimacy through a hierarchical ordering of difference. Focusing on Kant and natural history in the eighteenth century, Mill and social Darwinism in the nineteenth, and theories of development and modernization in the twentieth, he proposes a critical theory of development which can counter contemporary neoracism and neoimperialism, and can accommodate the multiple modernities now taking shape. Offering an unusual perspective on the past and present of our globalizing world, this book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of philosophy, political theory, the history of ideas, racial and ethnic studies, social theory, and cultural studies.

`Not many poets have McCarthy's gift of being able to write so tenderly about private affections and so acutely about public figures and events.' Brendan Kennelly's comment on an earlier McCarthy collection is just as true of his new book. The title-sequence is a series of brief poems reflecting on Ireland and Paris, past and present. Others are set in London and Cork; their starting-points include library work, being in hospital, railway stations and family life. These are eloquent, incisive and moving poems which make their mark with the `lovely delicacy of touch' which, as George Szirtes said, `is seen at its best in quiet poems full of telling detail.'

Thomas McCarthy's new collection powerfully combines the private and the public in poems of memory, love, history and ideas. In the title sequence, written during 1993-4 when the prospect of ultimate peace in Northern Ireland was at its peak, he explores various kinds of betrayal in the light of the Dreyfus affair and its one honourable man, the deputy from the lost province of Alsace. The final sequence wryly reimagines history in the poems of St Declan, a proselytizing Christian Scientist who arrives in Dark Age Ireland on a floating boulder, armed with a shortwave radio. If memory is often the fulcrum around which these inventive poems turn, then the desire for `an autonomous region of the heart' is their driving force.
