Description
Philosophy en noir by Miroslav Petříček is a thought-provoking exploration of how Western philosophy has transformed in response to traumatic events. In this first English-language translation, Petříček argues that philosophy must adapt to bear witness to the time, and offers an original Central European perspective on postwar philosophical discourse. Petříček examines the historical underpinnings of various philosophical schools, including those associated with Adorno, Agamben, Benjamin, Derrida, Husserl, Kracauer, and others. This book provides a unique record of this transformation in philosophy, reflecting upon the connections between pop culture phenomena and complex philosophical ideas. By exploring these themes, Petříček sheds new light on the evolution of Western philosophy in the second half of the twentieth century and beyond.
