This Collection Of Essays Argues That Any Valid Theory Of The Modern Shouldindeed Mustreckon With The Medieval. Offering A Muchneeded 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 Iek Have Repeatedly Drawn From Medieval Sources To Theorize Modernity. To Forget The Medieval, Or To Discount Its Continued Effect On Contemporary Thought, Is To Neglect The Responsibilities Of Periodization.In The Legitimacy Of The Middle Ages, Modernists And Medievalists, As Well As Scholars Specializing In Eighteenth, Nineteenth, And Twentiethcentury Comparative Literature, Offer A New History Of Theory And Philosophy Through Essays On Secularization And Periodization, Marxs (Medieval) Theory Of Commodity Fetishism, Heideggers Scholasticism, And Adornos Nominalist Aesthetics. One Essay Illustrates The Workings Of Medieval Mysticism In The Writing Of Freuds Most Famous Patient, Daniel Paul Schreber, Author Of Memoirs Of My Nervous Illness (1903). Another Looks At Michael Hardt And Antonio Negris Empire, A Theoretical Synthesis Whose Conscientious Medievalism Was The Subject Of Much Polemic In The Post9/11 Era, A Time In Which Premodernity Itself Was Perceived As A Threat To Western Values. The Collection Concludes With An Afterword By Fredric Jameson, A Theorist Of Postmodernism Who Has Engaged With The Medieval Throughout His Career.Contributors: Charles D. Blanton, Andrew Cole, Kathleen Davis, Michael Hardt, Bruce Holsinger, Fredric Jameson, Ethan Knapp, Erin Labbie, Jed Rasula, D. Vance Smith, Michael Uebel
