The Great Dismissal
Angebote / Angebote:
Longtime scholar and critic Henry Sussman deploys anecdote, reportage, memoir, and a pilgrimage to major intellectual stops in his trajectory of marshaling the disbelief and dismay prompted by the rise of anti-intellectualism in recent decades and reflected most disturbingly in Donald Trump's ascension to the US presidency. In retracing his own intellectual and experiential steps, Sussman revisits his personal list of inspirations, including Walter Benjamin, Jacques Derrida, Douglas R. Hofstadter, and J. Hillis Miller. The result is an intellectual meditation on ?the great dismissal, ' in public and political life, of venerable and vital humanistic traditions, ethics, and ways of thinking.
