About From Plato to Postmodernism
Greg Johnson’s From Plato to Postmodernism collects essays and lectures on philosophical, political, and cultural themes in Plato, Aristotle, Vico, Rousseau, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Yeats, Husserl, Heidegger, Jünger, Cassirer, Camus, and Kojève. Written in a lucid and lively style and illustrated with examples from ordinary life and popular culture, these essays and lectures are ideal introductions to some of the most profound and influential thinkers of the West.
Praise for From Plato to Postmodernism
“I wish I had read Greg Johnson’s From Plato to Postmodernism when I was in college. True to its title, it takes the reader on a journey from Plato’s Republic to the postmodern ‘end of history,’ with a focus on themes from philosophical psychology, political philosophy, and the philosophy of history. This book is especially useful to today’s Rightists, who often fail to get beyond modern nihilism because they owe too much to it. Greg Johnson is our Dr. Johnson, only better.”
—James O’Meara, author of Magick for Housewives
“The essays in From Plato to Postmodernism will at once provide something of a liberal education for their readers and reveal the philosophical depth of the struggle in defense of Europe’s sons and their civilization—a struggle in which Dr. Johnson occupies an important place. This is my favorite Greg Johnson book so far.”
—F. Roger Devlin, author of Alexandre Kojève & the Outcome of Modern Thought
