Fin de Siegrave;cle Socialism; originally published in 1988; demonstrates the lively potential for cultural criticism in intellectual history. Martin Jay discusses such controversies as the Habermas-Gadamer debate and the deconstructionist challenge to synoptic analysis. This book should be of interest to students and teachers of modern European history; political and social theory.

Five StarsBy MonstyChristmas gift3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Absolute BestBy David K.I have read 4 different translations of the Theban plays and the Fagles translation is by far the best available. It reads flowingly. It has extensive notation. It has a fantastic introduction to Greek theatre and the evolution of the plays. The University of Chicagos Grene Lattimore series is often cited as "the standard". But that series has only very cursory introductions and not to each play...there are no notes whatsoever and no glossary.Fagles also translated the very best Homer of all time. IMO. His The Odyssey and The Iliad are excellent reading with wonderful introductions by Bernard Knox. I believe it is a truism that any work by Fagles will be top drawer.
