These essays are edited and introduced by the author of the most significant intellectual biography of her work, John Grumley. In these lectures, Heller engages one of her greatest strengths: to discover philosophy within the very flux of contemporary events. These bring together such timely topics as refugees, human rights, truth in politics and the contemporary university as well as perennial issues like the possibility of artistic representation of the Holocaust, the question whether revolutions are always betrayed, and the possibility of universality in the contemporary multicultural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements    Introduction    part 1: Political  1 Are All Revolutions Betrayed?    2 Truth in Politics    3 Progress, Regress and Human Rights    4 Cosmopolitanism as Philosophy, Refuge, and Destiny    5 Are There Obligations without Rights?    6 On the Concept of ‘Care’    7 In Praise of Imperfection    part 2: Cultural  8 Is Representation of the Holocaust Possible?    9 Past, Present and Future of Universities    10 Is the Language of Philosophy in a State of Crisis?    11 Reflections on the Dynamics of Personal Identity in Modernity    12 The ‘End of Philosophy’ (Four Times) or Karl Marx as a German Philosopher    13 Nietzsche on Dreams    14 What Went Wrong with the Religion of Reason?    15 De libero arbitrio (On Free Choice of the Will)    16 Fathers and Sons in the Bible    17 Infinity as Concept and as Imagination  Bibliography   Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210791215447,"sku":"9789004420373","price":104.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/after-thoughts-beyond-the-system-political-and-cultural-lectures-by-agnes-heller-9789004420373","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
