Richard Kearney’s exploration of Modern Movements in European Philosophy highlights three pivotal currents: Phenomenology, Critical Theory, and Structuralism. Phenomenology focuses on the direct examination of experience and consciousness, seeking to reveal the structures of perception and meaning. Critical Theory, rooted in the Frankfurt School, challenges societal structures and ideologies, aiming to uncover and transform power relations and injustices. Structuralism, on the other hand, analyzes cultural phenomena through underlying systems and codes that shape language, thought, and society. Kearney’s work underscores the interconnectedness of these movements, illustrating how they collectively deepen our understanding of human experience and social reality in the modern European intellectual landscape.
