Origins of Modernity - John F. Rundell

This volume offers a reconstruction of the work of Kant, Hegel and Marx, focusing on their conceptions of, and their theories about, the modern era. It argues that the notion of the self-defining subject is a key concept for these thinkers, a concept which expresses their debt to the tradition of the Enlightenment. But in attempting to develop the Englightenment ideal, Kant, Hegel and Marx elaborate their theories in ways that undermine or restrict the original ideal and give rise to tensions and unresolved problems.
