Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:
This book is an examination of nineteenth-century interpretations of Socrates by Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche in the light of the contemporary debates over rationality in the modern world. These interpretations of Socrates have fundamentally influenced modern and postmodern thought, and their complexity reflects both an attraction to, and a fear of, the peculiarly modern concept of reason that Socrates is read as embodying.
Socrates is seen in this book as an emblematic figure through which the constitutive tensions between enlightenment and romanticism in modern thought can be understood. In the concluding chapter, Harrison analyzes the claims of discursive reason versus those of deconstruction in the postmodern conflict over the figure of Socrates.
Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review
Harrison (sociology, LaTrobe Univ., Australia) examines "the disenchantment of reason in the realm of morals through an analysis of several nineteenth-century interpretations of the figure of Socrates." The character of Socrates is used as a Rorschach inkblot to reveal, in the interpretations of Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, the transit of 18th-century intellectual optimism into the nihilism that characterizes modern times. Harrison educes from these authors an "increasingly unambiguous reaction against the Enlightenment" and throws sparks into the icy darkness with which the 20th century replaced it. This approach is useful and evocative. An uncluttered, concise, and jargon-free prose should make the content accessible to a broad range of readers. Useful to all scholars interested in the history of philosophy, the history of ideas, literary criticism, and hermeneutics. Will be of particular interest to scholars working in Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and the 19th century generally. Upper-division undergraduate; graduate; faculty. M. C. E.
