Hermann Cohen's philosophy emerged as a critical response to the decline of absolute idealism and the rise of naive materialism in the late 19th century. Advocating for critical reason, he laid the groundwork for scientific idealism and influenced the Marburg school. Cohen's work, rooted in a rich philosophical tradition from Plato to Kant, sought to expand the understanding of critical philosophy. In his later years, he focused on the philosophy of religion, linking it to his earlier ideas while exploring the boundaries of reason and its implications for religious thought.

This book examines the concepts behind a philosophical project on postmodernism: the social and cultural condition of our time, the age of the achieved capitalism. It proposes an original theory of postmodern humanism based on the absence of form and describes the development of philosophical thought as a musical “cadenza” that produces meaning in the empty space between the past of the modern and the future of the postmodern. The book focuses on three main postmodernist themes: the denial of identity and the assertion of the differences, the shattered subject, and the absence of teleology in history and politics.
