Rethinking Ernst Bloch (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789004308565)

This volume offers a critical re-assessment of the thought of Ernst Bloch, best known for his groundbreaking study The Principle of Hope and one of the most significant European thinkers and public intellectuals of the twentieth century. It explores Bloch's life, work and reception; his debt to Marx and Hegel; his central concepts of hope and utopia; his affinities with philosophers such as Gramsci and Zizek; and his radical reframing of our understanding of history, society and culture. Above all, this volume examines the relevance of Bloch's ideas today, in a world still shot through with economic inequality and social injustice.
