Modernism as a Philosophical Problem: On the Dissatisfactions of European High Culture, 2nd Edition

* The second edition contains a new introduction discussing the current state of the modernity controversy, and an additional chapter, entitled, Nietzsche and the Melancholy of Modernity.
* The second edition of a book that has become a standard text to which many references in literature are made.
* Represents a distinctive interpretation of modernity: the author develops an original argument against Nietzschean and Heideggerean claims about a "nihilistic" end to the modern tradition, and defends a reconsideration of many of Hegel's original claims about the nature and potential "completion" of modernity.
* Takes the reader on an adventurous voyage through the authentic thinking of Hegel without repeating all the conventional wisdom.
* Identifies the most important claims made on behalf of modern philosophy, and the most important objections to have emerged against those claims.
* Combines analytical precision and broad speculative powers.
