The work of Carlo Michelstaedter (1887–1910) was the first to analyze modernist philosophy in strict connection with social changes in mass society. Revealing how Michelstaedter was able to unveil the relations between pivotal early-modernist philosophies and social restructurings, The Wreckage of Philosophy examines the ongoing processes of "specialization," "rationalization," and "atomization." It points out how Michelstaedter connected the main theoretical expressions of modernism with the decisive social transformations of the early twentieth century, taking into consideration the key players of modernist philosophy, such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Henri Bergson, Ernst Mach, and William James.By following Michelstaedter’s analysis and strategies, The Wreckage of Philosophy focuses on several intertwined issues: the distinct philosophical positions within the modernist area; the connections between philosophy and modernist literature; the relations between intellectual positions and social upheavals; and the early-twentieth-century links among traditional philosophy, critique of language, and epistemology of technique.

As we approach the centenary of the death of Italian journalist, radical liberal, and anti-fascist intellectual Piero Gobetti (1901–26), his insights into liberalism and anti-fascism resonate more than ever, particularly in light of the resurgence of reactionary politics reminiscent of fascism and ongoing debates surrounding (neo-)liberalism.An Intellectual against Fascism offers anglophone readers a new translation of over thirty articles that span Gobetti’s entire journalistic career, half of which have previously been unavailable in English. The volume is thoughtfully organized to allow readers to trace the progressive development of his ideas. To enhance understanding of Gobetti’s thought, this expertly curated collection includes his writings on literature, theatre, and literary criticism. It also features the complete text of La Rivoluzione Liberale (1924), his magnum opus, which has not been available in its entirety before. An extensive critical apparatus accompanies the collection, including a preface, an introduction, and concise introductions and notes for each article.
