Beskrivning
Makes the case for the rediscovery of British philosopher Gillian Rose’s unique but neglected voiceKate Schick explains the core themes of Gillian Rose's work. She engages with the work of Benjamin, Honig, Zizek and Butler and locates Rose's ideas within central debates in contemporary social theory: trauma and memory, exclusion and difference, tragedy and messianic utopia. She shows how Rose’s speculative perspective brings a different gaze to bear on debates, avoiding well-worn liberal, critical theoretic and post-structural positions.Gillian Rose draws on idiosyncratic readings of thinkers such as Hegel, Adorno and Kierkegaard to underpin her philosophy, refusing to privilege the particular over the universal. While of the left, she is sharply critical of much left-wing thought, insisting that it shirks the work of coming to know and taking political risk in the hope that we might find a ‘good enough justice’.

In recent years, Gillian Rose has begun—at last—to be rediscovered as one of the twentieth century’s most significant philosophers and critical theorists. First published in 2012, Kate Schick’s Gillian Rose: A Good Enough Justice was ahead of the curve, particularly in highlighting Rose’s vital importance as a thinker of the Left. In Schick’s account, Rose emerges as a thinker of radical yet difficult politics—eschewing all utopias, easy answers, and intellectual comforts, while refusing melancholy or resignation in favour of a political and critical process of mourning that might ‘become the law.’ Schick proves a lucid and generous guide to Rose’s formidable work, showing with clarity and force why, in our present moment of catastrophe and crisis, Rose’s insights are more urgent than ever.
