Описание: The Second Edition Contradictory interpretations have been applied to history-making events that led to the end of the Cold War: Vaclav Havel, using Kierkegaardian terms, called the demise of totalitarianism in East-Central Europe an existential revolution (i.e. an awakening of human responsibility, spirit, and reason), while others hailed it as a victory for the New World Order. Regardless of ones point of view, however, it is clear that the global landscape has been dramatically altered. Where once the competition between capitalism and communism provided a basis for establishing political- and self-identity, today the destructive forces of nationalist identity and religious and secular fundamentalism are filling the void. Offering the most extensive examination of Habermass and Kierkegaards critiques of nationalist identity available, Postnational Identity dramatically confronts the traditional view of existential philosophy as antisocial and uncritical. This book shows how Kierkegaardian theory and practice of radically honest communication allows us to rethink the existential in terms of Habermass communicative action, and vice versa. As the author explains, the foundations of his work in the critical theory and existential philosophy, brought together in this book, engender two forms of suspicion of the present age. The critical theorist, such as Jurgen Habermas, unmasks the forms in which social and cultural life become systema-tically distorted by the imperatives of political power and economic gain. The existential critic, like Soren Kierkegaard and Vaclav Havel, is suspicious of the various ways in which individuals deceive themselves or other people. This study aims to integrate Kierkegaards and Havels existential critique of motives informing human identity formation with Habermass critique of the colonialization of fragmented, anomic modern life by systems of power and money... The authors argument is that existential critique and social critique complement each other and overcome their respective limitations. One of the first works to treat seriously the existential thought of Havel, the book will hold enormous appeal for students and professionals involved in existential philosophy, critical theory, philosophy, and, more generally, political science, literary theory, communications, and cultural studies.
