Patterns in Twentieth-Century European Thought (Studies in Modern European History Series)

by S. P. Fullinwider, Frank J. Coppa

Overview

Patterns in Twentieth-Century European Thought contains interpretive essays in the history of the century’s Marxism, psychoanalysis, quantum physics, logic, language theory, philosophy, art, literature, and theology. A concluding essay argues that the philosophy and social theory – not to mention the physics and theology – constitute a twentieth-century Counter-Enlightenment that has replaced the Cartesian- and Newtonian-based Enlightenment of the eighteenth century.
