Description

Ideologies of Theory brings together a collection of theoretical essays by Fredric Jameson, spanning his long career as a critic. This single-volume edition charts a body of work that explores the intersection of literary scholarship and political history.

The essays in this volume demonstrate how Jameson's work pushes out the boundaries of the text, revealing the interaction between literature and disciplines such as psychoanalysis, philosophy, and cultural theory. They constitute a rigorous argument for the necessity of theory as a critique of empiricism and idealist philosophy.

By tracking a shift from ideological analysis to the phenomenology of everyday life, these essays offer a passionate case for the importance of theory in understanding our world.
