{"product_id":"posthistoire-isbn-9780860916970","title":"Posthistoire","description":"Whether its ultimate resting-place is deemed to be Fukuyama’s liberal democracy or Baudrillard’s hyperreality, history, according to a number of pundits, has reached the end of the line. In the inflated debates that have ensued, it is precisely history which has been ignored, for the conception of \u003ci\u003eposthistoire\u003c\/i\u003e is far from new. Here, Lutz Niethammer, Germany’s leading practitioner of ‘history from below’, explores in fascinating detail the forms the conception has taken in the twentieth century and assembles what amounts to an intellectual history of disillusion and resignation. In his survey of thinkers as diverse as Kojeve, Heidegger and Junger, he finds adherents to the idea of the end of history on the Right and Left. But whether they pinned all their hopes on the nation or the proletariat, in different ways they have all conflated the apparent collapse of a particular historical project with the collapse of history itself.“... a fascinating, provocative and timely piece of intellectual history.”—Malcolm Bull, \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Niethammer’s book ... tells a much more interesting story than Fukuyama’s and deserves to have a more lasting impact.”—Stephen Howe, \u003ci\u003eNew Statesman and Society.\u003c\/i\u003eA translator from Romanian, Spanish, German, French, and Italian, \u003cb\u003ePatrick Camiller\u003c\/b\u003e has translated many works, including Dumitru Tsepeneag’s \u003ci\u003eVain Art of the Fugue\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Necessary Marriage\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHotel Europa\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302545871077,"sku":"NP9780860916970","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780860916970.jpg?v=1767735006","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/posthistoire-isbn-9780860916970","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
