    Description

    Philosophy in Cultural Theory boldly crosses disciplinary boundaries to offer a philosophical critique of cultural theory today. Drawing on the legacy of Walter Benjamin, Peter Osborne looks critically at central philosophical debates in cultural theory, such as:

    * the relationship between sign and image

    * the technological basis of cultural form

    * the conceptuality of art

    * the place of fantasy in human affairs.

    It will appeal to those in philosophy, cultural studies and art theory.
