This, however, has not always been the case. Some exceptions notwithstanding, the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms dates back no further than the 1950s, when a postwar generation tried to make sense of a world full of change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePost-everything\u003c\/i\u003e examines why post-Christian, post-industrial, and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated, not only among academics, but also in the popular press.

Instead of engaging theoretically with post-ideology or post-capitalism, the volume offers historical explanations for their emergence and popularity. It paints vivid portraits of intellectuals (the 'post boys', as they were initially called) who brought these concepts into circulation - from German theologians fighting the Nazi regime to literary theorists inviting Jacques Derrida to a conference in the US. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn tracing post-terms through a broad variety of genres and fields, \u003ci\u003ePost-everything\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates the potential of a broadly conceived history of knowledge, while also contributing, more specifically, to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHerman Paul is Professor of the History of the Humanities at Leiden University \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdriaan van Veldhuizen is a scientific researcher for the Dutch government\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 06, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50361892307181,"sku":"9781526148193","price":78.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/mpb9jmorHS9781526148193.webp?v=1785391333","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/post-everything-an-intellectual-history-of-post-concepts-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
