5.0 out of 5 stars
Accessible, yet insightful,
By Oroboros (Muspellheim, Ragnarok) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superstructuralism: The Philosophy of Structuralism and Post-Structuralism (New Accents Series) (Paperback)
Harland has pulled off the near-impossible: explain the most difficult theories of recent times under a consistent rubric while avoiding the dreaded disease of jargon-riddled "academese" or priestly language wholly inaccessible to the beginner. At the same time, Harland also avoids superficial irrelevance by linking the disparate theories on common ground of superstructuralism.
Superstructuralism is Harland's umbrella term for highlighting the important aspects of certain theories of the 20th century that break free from stagnant orthodoxy in philosophy, psychology, sociology, history, linguistics and other related fields of human sciences and rejuvenate these disciples with bold insights that seem to defy standard common-sense that has inherited prejudices of archaic philosophies of the past. His reading of the difficult philosophers appears fair, yet doubly critical enough not to remain a mere epigone. While reading this book, I immediately put down my cash for the sequel, Beyond Superstructuralism.
