Docherty, Thomas: Criticism and Modernity. Aesthetics, Literature, and Nations in Europe and its Academies.
-Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999-
First edition. vii+248 pages with index. Cloth. Fine in fine dustjacket. This work traces the conditions under which criticism emerges as a socio-cultural practice within the institutionalized forms of European modernity and democracy. It argues that criticism was born out of anxieties about national supremacy in the late-17th century, with the consequence that the emergent national cultures of the 18th century and since have become sites for the regulation of the democratic subject through the academic form of arguments about the proper relations of aesthetics to ethics and politics. The central issue is that of legitimation: how can subjective aesthetic experiences regulate the norms of ethical justice? That question is posed not as an abstract philosophical issue, but rather as a question properly located within the struggles for national culture. The usual Germanic source of modern aesthetics and criticism is here placed in the broader European context, involving contests between England, France, Scotland, Ireland and the emergent Germany and Italy. Writers addressed include Corneille, Dryden, Moliere, Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Schiller, Hegel and Schopenhauer, and throughout, the legacy of these thinkers is found in the most recent contemporary theory, in work by Agamben, Badiou, Lyotard, MacIntyre and others. A closing chapter considers the formation of the university across modern Europe, in Vico's Naples, Humboldt's Berlin, Newman's Dublin, Blair's Edinburgh, the France of Alain and Benda, the England of Leavis, as well as our contemporary institutional predicaments. The book is intended for scholars and students of European literary and cultural theory and the history of ideas; philosophers, sociologists, and educationalists; and those interested in the history of the university in Europe.
