Martyn Hudson

Critical Theory and the Classical World (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book radically re-examines Europe's imaginaries of its origin in the ancient Greek world. Extracting central concepts of critical theory in its widest sense, it allies them to characters, mythologies and motifs in ancient thought. An important book for scholars and students of critical theory, social theory, aesthetic theory and the history of the human sciences, it alerts us to the catastrophe that we are facing in the 21st century - a catastrophe of domination and ecological collapse that has its origins in the ancient world and the ways in which it began to define a certain sense of humanness.
