Böcker av Allan Megill

Presents an interpretation of four thinkers: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, and Derrida. This book attempts to place these thinkers within the wider context of the crisis-oriented modernism and postmodernism that have been the source of much of what is most original and creative in twentieth-century art and thought.

Why did Karl Marx want to exclude politics and the market from his vision of a future socialism? Through his examination of Marx's formative writings, Allan Megill casts new light on Marx's relation to philosophy and reveals a hitherto largely unknown "rationalist" Marx.

Historians have chronicled language, madness, gender, and sexuality and have experimented with fresh forms of presentation. This work suggests that there is confusion among historians about what counts as a justified account of the past. It dispels some of the confusion, and also discusses issues of narrative, objectivity, and memory.
