On the Dissatisfactions of European High Culture.
Second Edition.
This book presents a distinctive interpretation of the negative and critical self-understanding, characteristic of much European high culture since Romanticism and especially since Nietzsche, and answers the question why the issue of modernity became a philosophical problem in European tradition. The second edition contains a new introduction discussing the current state of modernity controversy, and an additional chapter entitled "Nietzsche and the Melancholy of Modernity".
Suitable for students and researchers of modernism, twentieth-century philosophy and social theory.
