What is Truth? An Explainer on Modern Philosophy from Foucault and Deleuze to Žižek and Haraway

A brief overview of current thought, ideas, and people who have influenced philosophy over the last hundred years.

It is a great misconception that genuine philosophy ended after Kant and that nothing interesting has remained since then. The author of this book, Maximilian Neapolitan, debunks this myth and shows that modern philosophical thought can be just as significant as classical philosophy and as captivating as any of the humanities.

What is postmodernism? How does posthumanism differ from transhumanism? And how have modern philosophers made media “dark”? The field of modern philosophy has expanded so widely that now no cultural phenomenon can escape it, from blockbusters and superheroes to exhibitions of contemporary art.
