Heart of Europe | Generations of Feeling | The Theological Origins of Modernity | Spinoza Contra Phenomenology | The Birth of Theory
In The Legitimacy of the Middle Ages, modernists and medievalists, as well as scholars specializing in eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century comparative literature, offer a new history of theory and philosophy through essays on secularization and periodization, Marxâs (medieval) theory of commodity fetishism, Heideggerâs scholasticism, and Adornoâs nominalist aesthetics. One essay illustrates the workings of medieval mysticism in the writing of Freudâs most famous patient, Daniel Paul Schreber, author of Memoirs of My Nervous Illness (1903). Another looks at Michael Hardt and Antonio Negriâs Empire, a theoretical synthesis whose conscientious medievalism was the subject of much polemic in the post-9/11 era, a time in which premodernity itself was perceived as a threat to western values. The collection concludes with an afterword by Fredric Jameson, a theorist of postmodernism who has engaged with the medieval throughout his career.

About: This collection of essays argues that any valid theory of the modern shouldâindeed mustâreckon with the medieval.
