For more than half a century, Habermas has shaped both academic and public debates, serving as an admonishing voice of reason and the moral conscience of post-Holocaust German society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFelsch, a cultural historian, reflects on whether Habermas's intellectual supremacy is ending or whether his ideas are gaining new relevance in our current times of crisis.

Giving a platform to a philosopher venerated by the Nazis was not an attractive prospect for Germans eager to cast off Hitler’s shadow. It was only when two ambitious antifascist Italians, Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari, began to comb through the archives that anyone warmed to the idea of rehabilitating Nietzsche as a major European philosopher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTheir goal was to interpret Nietzsche’s writings in a new way and free them from the posthumous falsification of his work. The problem was that 10,000 barely legible pages were housed behind the Iron Curtain in the German Democratic Republic, where Nietzsche had been officially designated an enemy of the state. In 1961, Montinari moved from Tuscany to the home of actually existing socialism to decode the “real” Nietzsche under the watchful eyes of the Stasi. But he and Colli would soon realise that the French philosophers making use of their edition were questioning the idea of the authentic text and of truth itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhilipp Felsch retraces the journey of the two Italian editors and their edition, telling a gripping and unlikely story of how one of Europe’s most controversial philosophers was resurrected from the baleful clutch of the Nazis and transformed into an icon of postmodern thought in \u003cem\u003eHow Nietzsche Came in From the Cold\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000638783724,"sku":"9781509557615","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12598403482725.jpg?v=1763292288"},{"product_id":"the-summer-of-theory-by-philipp-felsch-9781509539857","title":"The Summer of Theory","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheory\u003c\/em\u003e – a magical glow has emanated from this word since the sixties. Theory was more than just a succession of ideas: it was an article of faith, a claim to truth, a lifestyle. It spread among its adherents in cheap paperbacks and triggered heated debates in seminar rooms and cafés. The Frankfurt School, Structuralism, Post-Structuralism, Adorno, Derrida, Foucault: these and others were the exotic schools and thinkers whose ideas were being devoured by young minds.

His setting is West Germany in the decades from the 1960s to the 1990s: in a world frozen in the Cold War, movement only came from big ideas. It was the time of apocalyptic master thinkers, upsetting reading experiences and glamorous incomprehensibility. As the German publisher Suhrkamp published Adorno’s \u003cem\u003eMinima Moralia\u003c\/em\u003e and other High Theory works of the Frankfurt School, a small publisher in West Berlin, Merve Verlag, provided readers with a steady stream of the subversive new theory coming out of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy following the adventures of the publishers who provided the books and the reading communities that consumed and debated them, Philipp Felsch tells the remarkable story of an intellectual revolt when the German Left fell in love with Theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341414711532,"sku":"9781509539857","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12420823482725.jpg?v=1772191414"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/philipp-felsch.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
