The Age of Culture

Authors

  • Terry Eagleton University of Lancaster, UK

Abstract

The paper deals with the presence of culture and its impact on social life as a whole, that is with its transformation from a private pastime to a pervasive social phenomenon. Culture has become ambiguous and while on the one hand it represents a positive social reality, on the other hand it is the enemy of everything that the liberal holds dear – reason, universal right, personal liberty, free inquiry, cosmopolitanism, critical reflection – it becomes the enemy of the civilization.
