This book is a response to the absence of a systematic andcritical engagement with the notions of meaning, historicity andthe social in contemporary social science and philosophy. It drawson a wide range of writings from classical and contemporary socialtheory and philosophy and aims to offer a novel understanding ofthese concepts. These notions have always fascinated social andpolitical thought, but it was with the nineteenth centuryphilosophies of history that the systematic linking of meaning,history and society reached its apex. The collapse of these grandtheoretical frameworks signified also the disenchantmentwith thesenotions. Thus, there is an abundance of theoretical perspectives ofthe social sciences and philosophy that find pride in celebratingthe bankruptcy of the notions of meaning and historicity in face ofthe liquidation of the social fabric experienced by the inhabitantsof advanced capitalist societies. This book aims tore-conceptualise meaning, historicity and the social in theirbelonging-together and to show their importance for contemporarythought.
