Summary:

This book offers an exciting look at the important and often uneasy place of philosophy in cultural theory. In the United States and Britain, cultural studies has taken a largely non-philosophical form. Throughout, Osborne shows how and why concepts currently popular in cultural theory have brought philosophical questions to center stage. He discusses many important thinkers who have straddled the philosophy-cultural divide such as Benjamin, Adorno, Jameson, and Clement Greenberg.
