| Sumario: | Terry Eagleton makes a powerful argument that materialism is at the center of today's important scientific and cultural as well as philosophical debates. The author reveals entirely fresh ways of considering the values and beliefs of three very different materialists--Marx, Nietzsche, and Wittgenstein--drawing striking comparisons between their ideas, and showing how the anti-metaphysical stance taken up by each thinker tears us away from attachment to self-serving fantasy and returns us to the practical world. Along the way, Eagleton reflects on a wide array of topics, from ideology and history to language, ethics, and the aesthetic, providing a moving and powerful manifesto for a mode of engagement that takes seriously active, sensuous human life. |
