AUTHOR

Wellmer, Albrecht, Midgley, David

SUMMARY

In this timely new book Wellmer intervenes in the highly topical debates on modernity and post-modernity. Discussing the work of Adorno, Habermas, Peter Burger and Jean-François Lyotard, among others, he offers a penetrating analysis of the aesthetic, ethical and philosophical dimensions of the modern era. In opposition to those who view post-modernity as a sign of post-enlightenment, Wellmer makes a reasoned plea for a re-examination of the goals of emancipatory Enlightenment and explores its implications for the appreciation of modern art forms.Wellmer, Albrecht is the author of 'The Persistence of Modernity: Aesthetics, Ethics and Postmodernism', published 1991 under ISBN 9780745605388 and ISBN 0745605389.
