The Problems of Modernity by Andrew Benjamin

The central and privileged place of the philosophical problem of modernity has been threatened by the possibility advanced by Jean-Francois Lyotard that modernity as a project is over and the new concern is the postmodern. This collection brings together some of the most innovative acadmics working in the area of European radical philosophy in order to tackle the problems of modernity and postmodernity. Issues covered range from art, literature and music to feminism and Judaism.
