Overview
Focusing on nineteenth-century philosophers from Schelling and Hegel to Nietzsche, and on contemporary theorists form Derrida to Kristeva and Leotard, the essays in this book suggest that the two areas are most similar at the points where they seem most unlike. Tracing the links of contemporary thought to its nineteenth-century precursors, the authors explore such issues as the reauthorizing of history and the subject, limits and persistence of the metaphysical, and the ends of theory.Synopsis
