Nietzsche’s Fourfold Critique of Modernity inBeyond Good and Evil
Although Nietzsche writes that Beyond Good and Evil is “in all essentials a critique of modernity,” surprisingly, the secondary literature typically slips past giving a precise characterization of this central concept in that work. In this paper I show that tracking Nietzsche’s use of the term "modern" in the work shows that Nietzsche’s “modernity” is: (I) a structure of ideas or values, (II) a psychic structure, (III) a social structure or a pol…
After Desire
Michel Foucault is perhaps most famous for his historical-genealogical critique of sexuality in the first volume of his History of Sexuality.

A return to Marx's and Hegel's texts may help determine more exactly what Marx was trying to figure out through Hegel, and why he saw the need to move beyond…

In this sense, Chinese society since the Song Dynasty has been “democracy” as Tocqueville himself pointed out repeatedly. In his understanding, contemporary China was a “democratic society” and…
