Abada Editores Paraíso y naufragio Musil y el hombre sin atributos
Este ensayo se nos ofrece como un escalpelo de vivisección con el que Cacciari, a través de los personajes musilianos, de sus alegrías, temores y esperanzas, va dando cuenta y razón de una realidad siempre aplazada, seductora pero esquiva, en torno a la cual dan vueltas unos personajes y con ellos Musil, y con Musil Cacciari y, por fin, con todos, el lector que tiene este libro en sus manos. Que no es paraíso perdido el de la razón, sino paraíso que nos pierde, paraíso que consiste en su propia búsqueda.

Machado Grupo de Distribución Europa o La filosofía
?El presente libro, merecedor del I Premio de Ensayo Círculo de Bellas Artes, supone una aguda reflexión en torno a las raíces culturales europeas, más allá de estereotipos y tentativas de redución. Continuador de la reflexión iniciada en ?Geofilosofía de Europa?, ?Europa o la Filosofía? es un epílogo nada complaciente, un matiz más que pone en duda alguna de nuestras certezas. En una época de relaciones globales no es posible el planteamiento de una ?gran política?, sin un ejercicio crítico de nuestra historia como el que ofrecen estas páginas.?

Stanford University Press Posthumous People: Vienna at the Turning Point
Friedrich Neitzsche imagined himself belonging to a society of visionaries, thinkers, architects, poets, musicians, and artists running ahead of the mainstream. They were condemned to be misunderstood or ignored in the present, but their work would become significant in the future. To them he addressed the aphorism from which Massimo Cacciari’s book takes its name, saying “It is only after death that we will enter our life and come alive, oh, very much alive, we posthumous people!” Cacciari isolates Vienna as the European capitol of posthumous people at a crucial turning point in Western thinking, as the nineteenth century ended. There he finds Ludwig Wittgenstein, together with Peter Altenberg, Robert Walser, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Adolf Loos, Martin Buber, Egon Schiele, Karl Kraus, Gustav Klimt, and many others. Cacciari treats this extraordinarily rich concentration of activity as the hub upon which European culture wheeled into the twentieth century. He reaches directly to the intellectual content in each of the various figures he discusses.

Seagull Books London Ltd Hamletics – Shakespeare, Kafka, Beckett
One of Italy's best-known contemporary philosophers and leftists offers a literature-informed take on our contemporary political situation. During the dramatic course of the twentieth century, amid the clash of the titans which marked that era, humanity could still think in terms of partisan struggles in which large masses took sides against one another. The new millennium, by contrast, appears to have opened under the guise of generalized insecurity, which pertains not only to the historical and social situation, or to one’s personal psychological predicament, but to our very being. The Earth’s current faltering and the twilight of every convention that might govern it—where roles, images, and languages become confused by a lack of direction and distance—were already powerfully prophesied in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and later in the works of Kafka and Beckett. In Hamletics, Massimo Cacciari, one of Italy’s foremost philosophers and leftist political figures, establishes a dialogue between these fateful authors, exploring the relationship between European nihilism and the aporias of action in the present.

Fordham University Press The Unpolitical: On the Radical Critique of Political Reason
Massimo Cacciari is one of the leading public intellectuals in today's Italy, both as an outstanding philosopher and political thinker and as now three times (and currently) the mayor of Venice. This collection of essays on political topics provides the best introduction in English to his thought to date. The political focus does not, however, prevent these essays from being an introduction to the full range of Cacciari's thought. The present collection includes chapters on Hofmannstahl, Lukács, Benjamin, Nietzsche, Weber, Derrida, Schmitt, Canetti, and Aeschylus. Written between 1978 and 2006, these essays engagingly address the most hidden tradition in European political thought: the Unpolitical. Far from being a refusal of politics, the Unpolitical represents a merciless critique of political reason and a way out of the now impracticable consolations of utopia and harmonious community. Drawing freely from philosophy and literature, The Unpolitical represents a powerful contribution to contemporary political theory. A lucid and engaging Introduction by Alessandro Carrera sets these essays in the context of Cacciari's work generally and in the broadest context of its historical and geographical backdrop.

Fordham University Press Europe and Empire: On the Political Forms of Globalization
The European Union and the single currency have given Europe more stability than it has known in the past thousand years, yet Europe seems to be in perpetual crisis about its global role. The many European empires are now reduced to a multiplicity of ethnicities, traditions, and civilizations. Europe will never be One, but to survive as a union it will have to become a federation of “islands” both distinct and connected. Though drawing on philosophers of Europe’s past, Cacciari calls not to resist Europe’s sunset but to embrace it. Europe will have to open up to the possibility that in few generations new exiles and an unpredictable cultural hybridism will again change all we know about the European legacy. Though scarcely alive in today’s politics, the political unity of Europe is still a necessity, however impossible it seems to achieve.
