Uncontainable Legacies

Theses on Intellectual, Cultural, and Political Inheritance

von Gerhard Richter

240 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Examines one of the central human concerns-the problem of what it means to inherit an intellectual, cultural, and political legacy-in a new light.* Argues that to inherit always means to interpret something that resists full transparency.* Draws on a wide range of heterogeneous figures in philosophy, literature, political thought, and the arts in the German, English, French, and American traditions.* Offers an engaging and highly topical intervention in the stakes and possible futures of the humanities today.
