Book Description:
|
Rhetorically charged debates over theory have divided humanities scholars for decades. Rodowick steps back from arguments pro and con to assess why theory has become such a deeply contested concept. Far from lobbying for a return to the "high theory" of the 1980s, he calls for dialogue on an ethically inflected philosophy of the humanities.
