Pippin defends an original re-narration of the development of modern philosophy, substantially different from that common in orthodox, postmodernist, and critical theory discussions, and one much more sensitive to the radicality of the most complete expression and defense of a modernist self-understanding - the classical German Idealist tradition, especially the position defended by Hegel. This interpretation is the basis for the claim that no paradigm shift, ideology critique, or new way of thinking can dispense with or overcome such modernist aspirations.' - from back cover.
