Dupré presents a fluidity and diversity that is lacking in many other interpretations of Marx.” -- Peter Stillman, The American Political Science Review “What makes the book notable is that it handles its subject more clearly, thoroughly, and indeed elegantly than most of its predecessors.” -- Michael J. Kerlin, Theological Studies “Dupré is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable scholars of Marxism. . . . His study counts among the best ones written on the modern Prometheus.”  -- Max Wildiers, De Standard “A major work on Marx, displaying familiarity with the vast scope of his work and characterized by thoughtful and insightful analysis.”  -- Carol Gould “This book is very learned, well-written and readable. . . . Its value lies in its attempt to subordinate the basic tenets of Marx’s thought to the question of how man’s cultural activity is to be understood within the general framework of Marxism and how some of Marx’s ideas concerning culture can be adapted apart from the dogmas of ‘historical materialism.’” -- Leszek Kolakowski","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49634173419793,"sku":"GOR013763890","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52126999806225,"sku":"NLS9780300035179","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300035179.jpg?v=1750876321"},{"product_id":"passage-to-modernity-book-louis-dupr-9780300065015","title":"Passage to Modernity","description":"Did modernity begin with the Renaissance and end with post-modernism?

Demonstrating remarkable erudition and sweeping breadth, The Quest of the Absolute analyzes Romanticism as a unique cultural phenomenon and a spiritual revolution. Dupré philosophically reflects on its attempts to recapture the past and transform the present in a movement that is partly a return to premodern culture and partly a violent protest against it.    Following an introduction on the historical origins of the Romantic Movement, Dupré examines the principal Romantic poets of England (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats), Germany (Goethe, Schiller, Novalis, Hölderlin), and France (Lamartine, de Vigny, Hugo), all of whom, from different perspectives, pursued an absolute ideal. In the chapters of the second part, he concentrates on the critical principles of Romantic aesthetics, the Romantic image of the person as reflected in the novel, and Romantic ethical and political theories. In the chapters of the third, more speculative, part, he investigates the comprehensive syntheses of romantic thought in history, philosophy, and theology.   The Quest of the Absolute is an important work both as the culmination of Dupré's ongoing project and as a classic in its own right. The book will meet the expectations of the specialist as well as appeal to more general readers with philosophical, cultural, and religious interests.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52507977613585,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52507978367249,"sku":"NLS9780268026165","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780268026165.jpg?v=1777111885"},{"product_id":"thinking-the-unknowable-book-louis-dupr-9780268207953","title":"Thinking the Unknowable","description":"Written throughout Louis Dupré's life, Thinking the Unknowable explores the relationship between faith and metaphysics, charting the course for an innovative Christian philosophy of religion.   Louis Dupré's Thinking the Unknowable offers a sophisticated response to the subjectivist ills of modern philosophy. Drawing on a diverse host of philosophers, theologians, and phenomenologists, Dupré seeks to open up a space for faith in contemporary philosophy of religion by arguing that metaphysics cannot claim authority in the realm of the transcendent. Instead, Dupré shows that philosophers must learn to accommodate mystery in their metaphysical frameworks.   Edited and introduced by Peter J. Casarella, prominent theologian and student of Dupré, the book unfolds in four parts. Dupré establishes the foundations for a new theology of language, drawing inspiration from two sources: humanist theological hermeneutics and deist biblical spirituality. The second part addresses the idea of God in modern philosophy, taking Hegel's philosophy of religion as its starting point. The third deals with the phenomenology of religion, focusing primarily on the work of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. In the fourth part, Dupré turns to the concept of mysticism, offering a sophisticated reflection on the possibility of acknowledging a transcendent horizon to human knowing in a secular age. Readers of this volume will be guided across the bridge from philosophy to faith and back again, discovering new worlds of meaning and expressions of truth.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53179884175633,"sku":"NGR9780268207953","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53610410737937,"sku":"NLS9780268207953","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780268207953.jpg?v=1772213318"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-louis-dupr.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
