Synopsis
Since the 19th century European culture has been lagely concerned with the idea of modernity. This book attempts centres on the philosophical contribution to this aspect of culture. It covers the dissatisfactions voiced in the work of Nietzsche, Hegel and Heidegger, as well as the more recent arguments of Adorno, Habermas and Rorty. The author argues against the Nietzschean and Heideggerean claims about a nihilistic end to the modern tradition, and defends Hegel's idea about the nature and potential completion of modernity.

Quatrième de couverture
Modernism as a Philosophical Problem,Second Edition presents an interpretation of the negative and critical self–understanding characteristic of culture since romanticism and especially since Nietzsche, and answers the question of why the issue of modernity became a philosophical problem in European tradition.
Pippin defends an original re–narration of the development of modern philosophy, substantially different from that common in orthodox, postmodernist and critical theory discussions, and one much more sensitive to the radicality of the most complete expression and defense of a modernist self–understanding – the classical German Idealist tradition, especially the position defended by Hegel. This interpretation is the basis for the claim that no paradigm shift, ideology critique, or new way of thinking can dispense with or overcome such modernist aspirations. In fact, the author argues, one can still detect the persistence of such aspirations and commitments in some of the harshest modernity critics, in Nietzsche and in Heidegger especially.
This unique and engaging view of modernity is an essential read for students, academics, and researchers studying Modernism, 20th Century Philosophy, Social Theory, and Hegel and German Idealism.
