Rules and Conventions: Literature , Philosophy, Social TheoryMette Hjort "The essays in "Rules and Conventions" are of extremely high quality. The concepts are central to aesthetics and the arts of interpretation, moral and political philosophy, philosophy of language, and social theory. Each contributor focuses intensely onthe concepts of rules and conventions and provides original analyses of the concepts in relation to a variety of topics. Cumulatively, they provide systematic perspectives on the cross-disciplinary importance of rules and conventions."--Douglas Kellner, University of Texas at Austin. |
