Under Webers Shadow: Modernity, Subjectivity and Politics in Habermas, Arendt and MacIntyre: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Under Webers Shadow: Modernity, Subjectivity and Politics in Habermas, Arendt and MacIntyre" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Under Webers Shadow presents an extended critical evaluation of the social and political thought of Jrgen Habermas, Hannah Arendt and Alasdair MacIntyre. Although hailing from very different philosophical traditions, these theorists all take as their starting-point Max Webers seminal diagnosis of late modernity, the view that the world-historic processes of rationalization and disenchantment are paradoxical in promising freedom yet threatening servitude under the iron cage of instrumental reason. However, each rejects his pessimistic understanding of the grounds and possibilities of political life, accusing him of complicity in the very realities he sought to resist. Seeking to move beyond Webers monological view of the self, his subjectivism and his identification of the political with domination, they offer alternative, intersubjective conceptions of the subject, ethics and politics that allow for positive future possibilities. But this incontrovertible gain, it is argued, comes at the cost of depoliticizing key arenas of human endeavour and of neglecting the reality of struggle and contestation. Engaging with important current debates and literature, Keith Breen provides a rigorous analysis of the work of Habermas, Arendt, MacIntyre and Weber and a highly accessible and original intervention within contemporary social and political thought. Under Webers Shadow will therefore be of interest to students and researchers alike within the areas of social and political theory, as well as those within the disciplines of ethics, sociology and philosophy.

Contents
This book is the product of many years of reflection and work. Over the course of those years, I benefitted enormously from colleagues and friends who expanded my understanding in unanticipated ways and provided much appreciated help and support when needed. I owe an especial debt of gratitude to Kim Hutchings and Russell Keat, whose excellent advice and insight during the early stages of this project and thereafter have profoundly shaped my view of political theory and of politics in general. For this, and for their encouragement, I am truly thankful. I am also deeply indebted to Cillian McBride and Andy Schaap, both of whom showed admirable generosity in offering detailed, astute criticism that was of great value to the development of my arguments and in the avoidance of blunders. Of course, the responsibility for all errors in what follows remains mine alone.
Thanks are also owed to other colleagues and friends for their help and constructive comments, in particular Stefan Andreasson, Chris Armstrong, Peter Baehr, Zenon Bankowski, Dan Bulley, Gideon Calder, Emilios Christodoulidis, Richard English, Alessandro Ferrara, Allyn Fives, Jason Frank, John Garry, Vincent Geoghegan, Tim Hayward, John Horton, Vasso Karageorgiou, George Karyotis, Kelvin Knight, Debbie Lisle, Susan McManus, Paddy McQueen, Tom Moore, Takeshi Nakano, Ciarn OKelly, Laura Reagan, Markus Wrner and Naoki Yajima.
I gratefully acknowledge the support of the National University of Ireland and the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh, which in providing me with fellowships made this project possible. Thanks are due, as well, to the School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy at Queens University, Belfast, for granting me a sabbatical in the academic year of 20102011. Earlier versions of some sections of this book have appeared in articles in Contemporary Political Theory, Philosophy & Social Criticism, Res Publica and The European Legacy; my thanks for permission to revise previously published material and to the editors and referees involved for their helpful suggestions and remarks. I would also like to express my gratitude to Natalja Mortensen, the initial commissioning editor, and to Carolyn Court, Beth Dixon, Dymphna Evans and Rob Sorsby at Ashgate for their dedicated efforts in bringing the book to completion.
Finally, my greatest debt is to my family: to my children, William, Richard, Oscar and Lily, for the happiness they have brought, and to my wife, Diana, for her understanding, companionship and supreme patience. I dedicate this book to Dianas brother and my friend, Dennis Gossrau, a man of principle and promise whose life was all too short.
