Hope Without Optimism
Why Marx Was Right
Hope Without Optimism
In "Hope Without Optimism," Terry Eagleton dissects the pervasive yet often misunderstood concept of hope. He argues that hope, distinct from optimism, isn't simply a naive expectation of positive outcomes. Instead, it's a principled commitment to a better future, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Eagleton explores hope's complex relationship with tragedy, justice, and revolution, drawing on a wide range of sources from ancient Greek philoso…

Radical Sacrifice
Why Marx Was Right
In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism—that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on—he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shake…
Culture and the Death of God
How to live in a supposedly faithless world threatened by religious fundamentalism? Terry Eagleton, formidable thinker and renowned cultural critic, investigates in this thought-provoking book the contradictions, difficulties, and significance of the modern search for a replacement for God. Engaging with a phenomenally wide range of ideas, issues, and thinkers from the Enlightenment to today, Eagleton discusses the state of religion before and af…
Reason, Faith, and Revolution
Terry Eagleton’s witty and polemical Reason, Faith, and Revolution is bound to cause a stir among scientists, theologians, people of faith and people of no faith, as well as general readers eager to understand the God Debate. On the one hand, Eagleton demolishes what he calls the “superstitious” view of God held by most atheists and agnostics and offers in its place a revolutionary account of the Christian Gospel. On the other hand, he launches a…
The Event of Literature
In this characteristically concise, witty, and lucid book, Terry Eagleton turns his attention to the questions we should ask about literature, but rarely do. What is literature? Can we even speak of "literature" at all? What do different literary theories tell us about what texts mean and do? In throwing new light on these and other questions he has raised in previous best-sellers, Eagleton offers a new theory of what we mean by literature. He al…
Utopias, Past and Present
Thomas More's Utopia, a book that will be 500 years old next year, is astonishingly radical stuff. Not many lord chancellors of England have denounced private property, advocated a form of communism and described the current social order as a “conspiracy of the rich.” Such men, the book announces, are “greedy, unscrupulous and useless.” There are a great number of noblemen, More complains, who live like drones on the labour of others. Tenants are…

Bodies, Artworks, and Use Values
Bodies, Artworks, and Use Values Terry Eagleton (bio) People Like to Feel Useful but not to feel used, a distinction which captures something of our general ambiguity about the concept of use. Not to feel used may be to feel dumped and discarded, which is objectionable; but it may also be to feel treated as an end in oneself, which is not. Perhaps what counts is the difference between being put to use by others and being the agent of one’s own pr…

The Death of Rhetoric
Poetry is about the experience of meaning as well as the meaning of experience. To read a poem is to feel one’s way into the inner workings of its language, rather than to peer through that speech to an extractable truth. It is to treat words as constitutive of meaning, not simply as reflective of it. This, to be sure, is true of all verbal acts, even the most banal, but poetry is the place where the performative, rhetorical dimensions of speech …

Jameson and Form
Identifying Fredric Jameson’s literary style as one of his signal achievements, Eagleton asks whether his formal emphases also serve to stave off questions of content: morality, sexuality, subjectivity

Holy Terror
Holy Terror is a profound and timely investigation of the idea of terror, drawing upon political, philosophical, literary, and theological sources to trace a genealogy from the ancient world to the modern day. Rather than add to the mounting pile of political studies of terrorism, Terry Eagleton offers here a metaphysics of terror with a serious historical perspective. Writing with remarkable clarity and persuasive insight he examines a concept w…

Where Do Postmodernists Come From
Imagine a radical movement that had suffered an emphatic defeat. So emphatic, in fact, that it seemed unlikely to resurface for the length of a lifetime, if at all. As time wore on, the beliefs of this movement might begin to seem less false or ineffectual than simply irrelevant. For its opponents, it would be less a matter of hotly contesting these doctrines than of contemplating them with something of the mild antiquarian interest one might hav…

Capitalismo, modernismo e pós-modernismo
Em seu artigo "Pós-modernismo, ou a lógica cultural do capitalismo tardio"(1), Fredric Jameson defende que o pastiche é o modo característico da cultura pós-moderna e não a paródia. "O pastiche", escreve ele, "é, tal como a paródia, a imitação de uma máscara peculiar, discurso numa língua morta; mas é uma prática neutra desse mimetismo, isenta das motivações ulteriores da paródia, amputada do impulso satírico, carente do riso e de qualquer convic…

On the Verge of Politics
Ideology, Fiction, Narrative
In ideology men do indeed express, not the relation between them and their conditions of existence, but the way they live the relation between them and their conditions of existence: this presupposes both a real relation and an imaginary, lived relation. Ideology, then, is the expression of the relation between men and their world. that is, the (overdetermined) unity of the real relation and the imaginary relation between them and their real cond…

Alice and Anarchy
There are two fairly commonplace facts about games which seem relevant to a discussion of Alice in Wonderland. First, games are rule-governed, and so orderly; but playing a game involves a creative application of the rules, as Wittgenstein reminds us in Philosophical Investigations, and thus allows for freedom: rules are fixed, but moves are to some extent unpredictable. Seen in this way, a game might appear as a paradigmatic fusion of order and …

Atheism in Christianity
Visionary utopian thinker finds the atheist core of the bible. In recent years religious faith has come under much scrutiny from secular progressives. Fear of a rise in Islamic and Christian fundamentalism has prompted numerous attacks on the belief in God which make no attempt to understand its source. In this long unavailable book, Ernst Bloch provides an original historical examination of Christianity in an attempt to find its social roots. He…

Criticism and Politics
It is difficult to see criticism as anything but an innocent discipline. Its origins seem spontaneous, its existence natural: there is literature, and so—because we wish to understand and appreciate it—there is also criticism. Criticism as a handmaiden to literature—as a shadowing of literature, a ghostly accomplice which

Marxism and Deconstruction
In discovering that men make history,' the nineteenth-century bourgeoisie kicked out from under themselves the very transcendental signifiers they needed to legitimate that history ideologically. But this damage could be contained by a simple fact: in pulling the metaphysical carpet out from under themselves, they pulled it out in the same stroke from under their opponents. Do we find the latest rehearsal of this maneuver in the confrontation bet…

The Revolt of the Reader
rT _HE GROWTH of the Readers Liberation Movement (RLM) over the past few decades has struck a decisive blow for oppressed readers everywhere, brutally proletarianized as they have been by the authorial class. Readers are less and less seen as mere nonwriters, the subhuman other or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be …
