Description

The Intellectual Origins of Modernity traces the philosophical foundations of modern thought from Rousseau to Foucault, arguing that modernity stems not from Enlightenment ideals or faith in progress, but from humanity's Promethean drive for self-mastery. This book examines how Western civilisation's passion to transcend inherited limitations, reshape the world through reason, and break free from historical constraints shaped the political ideologies of the nineteenth century and left enduring marks on totalitarian regimes. Part of the Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought series, this work offers a critical reassessment of modernity's intellectual trajectory and its consequences for political theory and history.

Key Features

Traces the philosophical roots of modernity from Rousseau to Foucault, challenging conventional narratives about Enlightenment origins.

Argues that Promethean passion - humanity's drive for self-mastery and world transformation - defines modernity rather than progress or reason alone.

Examines how intellectual currents of the nineteenth century generated political ideologies and influenced totalitarian movements.

Part of Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought series, offering scholarly analysis for students of philosophy and history.

Provides critical framework for understanding how Western thought shaped modern political systems and contemporary intellectual debates.
