Sommario/riassunto

First published in 1966, the Language of Criticism was the first systematic attempt to understand literary criticism through the



methods of linguistic philosophy and the later work of Wittgenstein. Literary critical and aesthetic judgements are rational, but are not to be explained by scientific methods. Criticism discovers reasons for a response, rather than causes, and is a rational procedure, rather than the expression of simply subjective taste, or of ideology, or of the power relations of society.The book aims at a philosophical justification of the tradition of practical critic

Sommario/riassunto

In this provocative study, economist Ernesto Screpanti argues that imperialism-far from disappearing or mutating into a benign "globalization"-has in fact entered a new phase, which he terms "global imperialism." This is a phase defined by multinational firms cut loose from the nation-state framework and free to chase profits over the entire surface of the globe. No longer dependent on nation-states for building a political consensus that accommodates capital accumulation, these firms seek to bend governments to their will and destroy barriers to the free movement of capital.
