Dialectic of Romanticism presents a radical new assessment of the aesthetic and philosophical history and future of modernity. An exploration of the internal critique of modernism treats romanticism (later historicism and post-modernism) as central to the development of European modernism alongside enlightenment, and, like the enlightenment, subject to its own dead-ends and fatalities. An external critique of modernism recovers concepts of civilization and civic aesthetics which are trans-historical -simultaneously modern and classically inspired - and provides a counter both to romantic historicism and enlightened models of progress. Finally, a retrospective critique of modernism analyses what happens to modernism's romantic-archaic and technological-futurist visions when they are translated from Europe to America. Dialectic of Romanticism argues that out of the European dialectic of romanticism and enlightenment a new dialectic of modernity is emerging in the New World-one which points beyond modernism and postmodernism.

"A significant intellectual accomplishment" Craig Calhoun, President of the Social Science Research Council; "A companion to the famous essay by Adorno and Horkheimer, Dialectic of Enlightenment... I recommend the book not just on the grounds of its general conception but also for the refinement of the analyses and richness of the material it contains." Agnes Heller, Hannah Arendt Professor of Philosophy, New School University, New York"
