Life after God: An Encounter with Postmodernism
Series: - Studies in Moral Philosophy, Volume: 16
Author:
In this volume, Mark Bevir argues that postfoundationalism is compatible with humanism and historicism. He shows how postmodernists, especially Derrida and Foucault, drew on structuralism and the avant-garde in ways that led them to downplay human agency and historical context. He then explores how we today might recover and rethink humanism and historicism. And, finally, he discusses the critical and ethical practices that such ideas might inspire.
Mark Bevir is a Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He holds concurrent appointments at King’s College, London, and the United Nations University (MERIT). His recent publications include (with Jason Blakely) Interpretive Social Science: An Anti-Naturalist Approach (Oxford University Press, 2018).
