Schürmann interprets the history of Western thought and action as a series of eras governed by the rise and fall of certain dominating philosophical ideas that contained the seeds of their own destruction. These eras coincided with their dominant languages: Greek, Latin, and vernacular tongues. Analyzing philosophical texts from Parmenides, Plotinus, and Cicero, through Augustine, Meister Eckhardt, and Kant, to Heidegger, Schürmann traces the arguments by which these ideas gained hegemony and by which their credibility was ultimately demolished. Recognizing the failure of ultimate norms, Broken Hegemonies questions how humanity today is to think and act in the absence of principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reiner Schürmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Studies in Continental Thought\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.42h x 5.98w x 1.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253215475","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711193256073,"sku":"9780253215475","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e2f1d62f-4f9f-440a-a88c-e273f0c27a68.jpg?v=1719563631","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/broken-hegemonies-9780253215475","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
