A new multidisciplinary series, ODEON will serve as a transfer pointmuch as the station ODEON in the Paris metrofor the many provocative lines of thought that enliven contemporary cultural criticism. ODEON will publish original works and translations that enhance the intellectual exchange between Europe and the Englishspeaking world in the areas of literature, criticism, philosophy, and historical and political reflection.Combining exemplary scholarship and analytic precision, Stanley Rosen illuminates the underpinnings of postmodernist thought, providing valuable insight as he pursues two arguments: first, that postmodernism, which regards itself as an attack upon the Enlightenment, is in fact the penultimate stage of the Enlightenment itself; and second, that the extraordinary contemporary emphasis upon hermeneutics is the latest consequence of the triumph of history over mathematics within the unstable essence of the Enlightenment. Hermeneutics is consequently at bottom a political phenomenon. In developing these arguments, Rosen demonstrates the paradigmatic status of Kant for a proper understanding of postmodernism, analyzes Derrida's influential critique of Platonism as well as his defense of writing, explains the political dimension of the quarrel between the ancients and moderns by studying the hermeneutics of Leo Strauss and Alexander Kojeve, and shows how the modern notion of "theory" is intrinsically relativized by the triumph of history over mathematics into the notion of interpretation. A wideranging exploration into current critical thinking, Hermeneutics as Politics will generate considerable debate among scholars interested in postmodernism, the Enlightenment, hermeneutics, the relation of philosophy and politics, deconstruction, and the history of philosophy.
