  • There's No Such Thing As Free Speech

    And It's a Good Thing, Too

    by Stanley Fish ...
    In an era when much of what passes for debate is merely moral posturing--traditional family values versus the cultural elite, free speech versus censorship--or reflexive name-calling--the terms "liberal" and "politically correct," are used with as much dismissive scorn by the right as "reactionary" and "fascist" are by the left--Stanley Fish would seem an unlikely lightning rod for controversy. A ... Read more

    An Introduction

    by Gerhard Schweppenhäuser, Stanley Fish, Fredric Jameson ...
    Translated by James Rolleston ...
    Series series Post-Contemporary Interventions
    Theodor W. Adorno (1903–1969) was one of the twentieth century’s most important thinkers.

  • The Legitimacy of the Middle Ages

    On the Unwritten History of Theory

    by Stanley Fish, Fredric Jameson ...
    Series series Post-Contemporary Interventions
    This collection of essays argues that any valid theory of the modern should—indeed must—reckon with the medieval. Offering a much-needed correction to theorists such as Hans Blumenberg, who in his Legitimacy of the Modern Age describes the "modern age" as a complete departure from the Middle Ages, these essays forcefully show that thinkers from Adorno to Žižek have repeatedly drawn from medieval ...

This work provides a unique view of a society in transition and confronting, like its models in the West, the ... Read more

  • The Revival of Pragmatism

    New Essays on Social Thought, Law, and Culture

    by Stanley Fish, Fredric Jameson, Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam ...
    Series series Post-Contemporary Interventions
    Although long considered the most distinctive American contribution to philosophy, pragmatism—with its problem-solving emphasis and its contingent view of truth—lost popularity in mid-century after the advent of World War II, the horror of the Holocaust, and the dawning of the Cold War. Since the 1960s, however, pragmatism in many guises has again gained prominence, finding congenial places to ... Read more

  • Doing What Comes Naturally

    Change, Rhetoric, and the Practice of Theory in Literary & Legal Studies

    by Stanley Fish, Fredric Jameson ...
    Series series Post-Contemporary Interventions
    In literary theory, the philosophy of law, and the sociology of knowledge, no issue has been more central to current debate than the status of our interpretations. Do they rest on a ground of rationality or are they subjective impositions of a merely personal point of view? In Doing What Comes Naturally, Stanley Fish refuses the dilemma posed by this question and argues that while we can never ... Read more
