Mit seinem cogito, ergo sum erkennt Descartes 1637 die menschliche Subjektivität als notwendige Voraussetzung allen Denkens. In der Aufklärung fordert Kant 1784 noch weitergehend zum allgemeinen Mut auf, sich seines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen. Das Selbstdenken soll nicht länger durch politische, religiöse oder gesellschaftliche Mächte eingeschränkt werden. So gelangt der geistige Prozess zu neuer Freiheit und Eigendynamik, von der Lichtenberg in witziger Überlistung der Grammatik meint, man solle 'es denkt' sagen wie beispielsweise 'es blitzt'. Natürlich eckten solche freien Geister oft an und gerieten dann wie der 'Märtyrer der Wahrheit' auf dem Umschlagbild ins Abseits. Viele selbständige Gestalten und Ideen der Aufklärung sind in diesem Band in kleinen Facetten zu Köpfen, Werken, Themen und Wirkungen des 18. Jahrhunderts versammelt

This book is a collection of specifically commissioned articles on the key continental European philosophical movements since 1914. It shows how each of these bodies of thought has been shaped by their responses to the horrors set in train by World War I, and considers whether we are yet `post-post-war'. The outbreak of World War I in August 1914, set in chain a series of crises and re-configurations, which have continued to shape the world for a century: industrialized slaughter, the end of colonialism and European empires, the rise of the USA, economic crises, fascism, Soviet Marxism, the gulags and the Shoah. Nearly all of the major movements in European thinking (phenomenology, psychoanalysis, Hegelianism, Marxism, political theology, critical theory and neoliberalism) were forged in, or shaped by, attempts to come to terms with the global trauma of the World Wars. This is the first book to describe the development of these movements after World War I, and as such promises to be of interest to philosophers and historians of philosophy around the world.

William James claimed that his "Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking" would prove triumphant and epoch-making. Today, after more than 100 years, how is pragmatism to be understood? What has been its cultural and philosophical impact? Is it a crucial resource for current problems and for life and thought in the future? John J. Stuhr and the distinguished contributors to this multidisciplinary volume address these questions, situating them in personal, philosophical, political, American, and global contexts. Engaging James in original ways, these 11 essays probe and extend the significance of pragmatism as they focus on four major, overlapping themes: pragmatism and American culture; pragmatism as a method of thinking and settling disagreements; pragmatism as theory of truth; and, pragmatism as a mood, attitude, or temperament.
