Description

The Bounds of Reason examines the central debate between modernity and postmodernity by investigating whether reason functions as an emancipatory or enslaving force. This highly original yet accessible study by Emilia Steuerman critically analyses the arguments of Jurgen Habermas and Jean-Francois Lyotard, two key proponents shaping contemporary philosophy. Steuerman clarifies Habermas' defence of modernity and his effort to preserve Enlightenment ideals whilst engaging with postmodern critiques. By exploring Melanie Klein's psychoanalytic insights alongside these philosophical perspectives, the book offers a unique synthesis that bridges cognitive theory and philosophical discourse. This work is essential for anyone studying the tension between rationality and its limits in modern European thought, providing clear explanations of complex theoretical positions without sacrificing intellectual rigour.

Key Features

Examines the Habermas versus Lyotard debate on rationality and its role in modern society.

Integrates Melanie Klein's psychoanalytic perspective with contemporary philosophy to offer fresh insights.

Published by Routledge as part of the Problems of Modern European Thought series.

Accessible yet rigorous analysis of modernity and postmodernity for both scholars and students.

Clarifies the Enlightenment project and its critiques through critical philosophical examination.
