<p>Philosophy in Cultural Theory boldly crosses disciplinary boundaries to offer a philosophical critique of cultural theory today. Drawing on the legacy of Walter Benjamin, Peter Osborne looks critically at central philosophical debates in cultural theory, such as: <br>* the relationship between sign and image<br>* the technological basis of cultural form<br>* the conceptuality of art<br>* the place of fantasy in human affairs.<br>It will appeal to those in philosophy, cultural studies and art theory.</p>
