Rethinking Ernst BlochAuthor(s): Henk de Berg, Cat Moir\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Haymarket Books, United States\nImprint: Haymarket Books\nISBN-13: 9798888903384, 979-8888903384\nSynopsis\nRethinking Ernst Bloch offers a critical reassessment of the thought of Ernst Bloch, best-known for his groundbreaking study The Principle of Hope and one of the most significant European thinkers and public intellectuals of the twentieth century. It explores Bloch's life, work and reception; his debt to Marx and Hegel; his central concepts of hope and utopia; his affinities with philosophers such as Gramsci and iek; and his radical reframing of our understanding of history, society and culture. Above all, this volume examines the relevance of Blochs ideas today, in a world still shot through with economic inequality and social injustice.\n\nContributors are: Agata Bielik-Robson, Ivan Boldyrev, Henk de Berg, Sam Dolbear, Vincent Geoghegan, Holger Glinka, Loren Goldman, Douglas Kellner, Cat Mon
