Discussing the work of Adorno, Habermas, Peter Burger and Jean-Fran\u0026amp;ccedilois Lyotard, among others, he offers a penetrating analysis of the aesthetic, ethical and philosophical dimensions of the modern era. In opposition to those who view post-modernity as a sign of post-enlightenment, Wellmer makes a reasoned plea for a re-examination of the goals of emancipatory Enlightenment and explores its implications for the appreciation of modern art forms.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlbrecht Wellmer\u003c\/b\u003e was previously Professor of Philosophy at the University of Konstanz.
