The Sovereignty of Art(Updated)
Aesthetic Negativity in Adorno and Derrida (Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought)
by Christoph Menke, Thomas Mccarthy, Neil Solomon
Paperback, 328 Pages, Published 1999 by The Mit Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-262-63195-2, ISBN: 0-262-63195-4

"Recent discussions of aesthetics, whether in the hermeneutic or the analytic tradition, understand the place of art and aesthetic experience according to a model of "autonomy"--as just one among the many modes of experience that make up the realm of reason, situated beside the other "spheres of value." In contrast, Theodor Adorno and Jacques Derrida view art and aesthetic e ..."






Force(1st Edition)
A Fundamental Concept of Aesthetic Anthropology
by Christoph Menke, Gerrit Jackson
Paperback, 160 Pages, Published 2012 by Fordham University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8232-4973-2, ISBN: 0-8232-4973-5

"The book aims at a new exposition of the basic idea of modern aesthetics by way of a reconstruction of its genesis in the 18th century, between Baumgarten's Aesthetics and Kant's Critique of Judgment. The claim is that the historical invention of aesthetics was not about expanding the range of legitimate objects of philosophical inquiry-these objects all existed before aesthetics. Rather, aesthetics, by introducing the category of the " ..."

Reflections of Equality(1st Edition)
(Cultural Memory in the Present)
by Christoph Menke-Eggers, Howard Rouse, Andrei Denejkine
Paperback, 256 Pages, Published 2006 by Stanford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8047-4474-4, ISBN: 0-8047-4474-2

"This book brings a new perspective—mainly out of German intellectual discussions rooted in Hegel—to bear on the problems of equality as discussed in Anglo-American conceptions of liberalism. Menke argues that the idea of equality is at the heart of political modernity. At the same time, political modernity is characterized by an attitude of critical reflection on the notion of equality in view of its consequences for the lives of indi ..."






Tragic Play
Irony and Theater from Sophocles to Beckett (Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts)
by Professor Christoph Menke, James Phillips
Hardcover, 248 Pages, Published 2009 by Columbia University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-231-14556-5, ISBN: 0-231-14556-X

" Tragic Play explores the deep philosophical significance of classic and modern tragedies in order to cast light on the tragic dimensions of contemporary experience. Romanticism, it has often been claimed, brought tragedy to an end, making modernity the age after tragedy. Christoph Menke opposes this modernist prejudice by arguing that tragedy remains alive in the present in the distinctively new form of the playful, ironic, and self-c ..."
