Description and Table of Contents
Description
One of the major themes running through this volume in the Library of the History of Ideas, is the relationship between society and the individual in modern thinking. Two articles deal with Emile Durkheim (and come to different conclusions about him), two focus on late nineteenth-century liberals who sought to bring liberalism closer to doctrines of social reform, while another three centre on German-speaking philosophers -important figures in contemporary debates about culture andhow it ought to be interpreted.
