| Description: |
Offers a thorough understanding of the concept's history and uses; developing from, and occasionally contesting, already established discussions of theory. |
| Synopsis: |
In an era that proclaims itself post-ironic, the question and problem of irony are of more interest than ever. In this compelling inquiry, Claire Colebrook takes up all the major figures in post-Cartesian philosophy on the subject of irony - Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, as well as the modern thinkers in the Anglo-Saxon tradition - Rorty, Searle, de Man - before engaging in an analysis of the continental canon and the ironic dimension that marks contemporary philosophy. Beyond the question of irony, Claire Colebrook treats the presence of irony in the history of philosophy and those points of overlap between nineteenth and twentieth-century literature and philosophy. Ultimately she extends what has belonged primarily to the domain of literature into a world of concepts. Claire Colebrook is Reader in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. She is the author of New Literary Histories: Historicism and Contemporary Criticism, Ethics and Representation and Gilles Deleuze |
