Description
As a sequel to European Thought and Culture in the 19th Century, Professor Kramer tackles the major intellectual themes and debates that decisively shaped 20th-century European culture. These 24 lectures cover an amazingly wide range of thinkers and writers, the key historical circumstances and challenges they faced, and the fascinating and subtle ways in which their works relate to one another and to the larger story of modern European culture. You'll look at influential writers such as Stéphane Mallarmé, Joseph Conrad, Henrik Ibsen, Virginia Woolf, and Primo Levi; important painters such as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Wassily Kandinsky; philosophers and theorists such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Albert Einstein, Edmund Husserl, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Jürgen Habermas; and other key figures in the human and social scientists, including Émile Durkheim, John Maynard Keynes, Hannah Arendt, and Carl Jung.
With a focus on context, cultural innovations, and responses to World War I and World War II, Professor Kramer lends coherence and liveliness to what might otherwise seem a bewildering gathering of intellectuals. But by learning about their lives, their works, and the connections between their ideas, you'll gain a keener insight into a host of movements and trends in the modern intellectual life-including positivism, literary modernism, feminism, structuralism, and Cubism and Abstract Expressionism in painting.

intellectualism is provincial, and blind
read the description : it is not european culture and thought, but a chunk of 20th century european progressive intellectual(ist) thought, that fraction which hasn't turned so dark as to have to be pushed under the carpet, mixed with a little progressive-aligned arts and litterature, which are presented. In that referential, the lectures are pretty good. Though the catastrophies of progressive thought in the 20th century aren't the object of any overt discussion here, or anywhere else for that matter. The evolution of political thought, organization and institutions, most of the arts, the evolution of sciences, of business, work and consumer culture, and the massive cultural impact of globalisation are but evoqued here. Expect some freud, some lacan, some beauvoir and some critical theory. Nothing on the sciences of our origins, of our brains and cognition, of our universes' structure, but an inept reference to Einstein's relativity; nothing on the evolution of an enormous corporate world's culture, and the evolution of an even more enormous world of state and public administrations, on the explosive development of a legal culture framing every aspect of an individual's life, from family to education, work or housing, or on the telecommunications and computing transformations, or on the evolution of the place of arts and entertainment in our lives. It is all about a narrow, largely self-centered intellectualism.
