Back Cover Modernism as a Philosophical Problem,Second Edition presents an interpretation of the negative and critical self-understanding characteristic of culture since romanticism and especially since Nietzsche, and answers the question of why the issue of modernity became a philosophical problem in European tradition. Pippin defends an original re-narration of the development of modern philosophy, substantially different from that common in orthodox, postmodernist and critical theory discussions, and one much more sensitive to the radicality of the most complete expression and defense of a modernist self-understanding - the classical German Idealist tradition, especially the position defended by Hegel. This interpretation is the basis for the claim that no paradigm shift, ideology critique, or new way of thinking can dispense with or overcome such modernist aspirations. In fact, the author argues, one can still detect the persistence of such aspirations and commitments in some of the harshest modernity critics, in Nietzsche and in Heidegger especially. This unique and engaging view of modernity is an essential read for students, academics, and researchers studying Modernism, 20th Century Philosophy, Social Theory, and Hegel and German Idealism.

Feature * The second edition contains a new introduction discussing the current state of the modernity controversy, and an additional chapter, entitled, Nietzsche and the Melancholy of Modernity. * The second edition of a book that has become a standard text to which many references in literature are made. * Represents a distinctive interpretation of modernity: the author develops an original argument against Nietzschean and Heideggerean claims about a "nihilistic" end to the modern tradition, and defends a reconsideration of many of Hegels original claims about the nature and potential "completion" of modernity. * Takes the reader on an adventurous voyage through the authentic thinking of Hegel without repeating all the conventional wisdom. * Identifies the most important claims made on behalf of modern philosophy, and the most important objections to have emerged against those claims. * Combines analytical precision and broad speculative powers.
