  • Teaching the Humanities in a Fractious World

    A Reply to Sceptics

    de Gavin Kitching ...
    This book confronts an ever more popular suspicion – that a university education in the humanities and social sciences is an ‘elitist’ indoctrination into ‘leftist’ or ‘liberal’ views. Having taught them for nearly 40 years, Gavin Kitching shows that, on the contrary, studying these subjects leads one to question all political and social views (left-wing, right-wing, ‘elite’, ‘popular’, religious, ...

    de Gavin Kitching ...
    Postmodern theory has engaged the hearts and heads of the brightest students because of its apparent political and social radicalism.

    de Gavin Kitching ...

    In this major study, first published in 1988, Professor Kitching builds on recent scholarship on Marx and Wittgenstein to provide an incisive, readable account and critique of the whole of Marx’s work.

  • Marx and Wittgenstein

    Knowledge, Morality and Politics

    Edición de Gavin Kitching, Nigel Pleasants ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought
    At first sight, Karl Marx and Ludwig Wittgenstein may well seem to be as different from each other as it is possible for the ideas of two major intellectuals to be. Despite this standard conception, however, a small number of scholars have long suggested that there are deeper philosophical commonalities between Marx and Wittgenstein. They have argued that, once grasped, these commonalities can ... Leer más

    A Theory for a Better Practice

Rethinking Socialism brought such a perspective to socialist thought and practice in Britain. Gavin Kitching contended that the unpopularity of the Left was not due primarily to ... Leer más

  • How to be a conservative

    de Sir Roger Scruton ...

How can we live in the presence of our 'canonized forefathers' at a time when their cultural, religious and political bequest is so routinely rejected? With soft left-liberalism as the dominant force in Western politics, what can conservatives now contribute to public debate that will not be dismissed as pure nostalgia? ... Leer más

  • German Philosophy

    A Very Short Introduction

    de Andrew Bowie ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    German philosophy remains the core of modern philosophy. Without Kant, Frege, Wittgenstein, and Husserl there would be no Anglo-American 'analytical' style of philosophy. Moreover, without Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, the 'Continental Philosophy' of Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Badiou, and Zizek, which has had major effects on humanities subjects in recent years, is incomprehensible ...

  • Against Decolonisation

    Taking African Agency Seriously

    de Olúfemi Táíwò ...
    Decolonisation has lost its way. Originally a struggle to escape the West's direct political and economic control, it has become a catch-all idea, often for performing "morality" or "authenticity;" it suffocates African thought and denies African agency. Olúfemi Táíwò fiercely rejects the indiscriminate application of 'decolonisation' to everything from literature, language and philosophy to ... Leer más
