The second volume of The Ethics of Narrative completes the project of bringing together nearly all of Hayden White’s uncollected essays from the last two decades of his life, including articles, essays, and previously unpublished lectures. As in the first volume, volume 2 features White’s trenchant articulations of his influential theories, as well as his explorations of a wide range of ideas and authors at the frontiers of critical theory, literature, and historical studies. These include the concept of utopia in history, modernism and postmodernism, constructivism, the conceptualization of historical periods such as "the Sixties" and "the Enlightenment," the representation of the Holocaust in scholarly and literary writing, as well as essays on Frank Kermode, Saul Friedländer, and Krzysztof Pomian.

English | October 10, 2002 | ISBN: 079145505X, 0791455068 | True PDF | 216 pages | 0.7 MB
This indispensable volume adds for the first time a comprehensive anthology of the most important of Martin Heidegger’s recently discovered early essays. Translated by preeminent Heidegger scholars, these supplements to Heidegger’s published corpus are drawn from his long series of early experimental, constantly supplemental attempts at rethinking philosophy. Written during 1910-1925, they precede Being and Time and point beyond to Heidegger’s later writings, when his famous "turn" took, in part, the form of a "return" to his earliest writings.
