But in \u003ci\u003eSeeing Things Hidden\u003c\/i\u003e they become key features of a philosophy of history that reunites emancipatory political theory with the apocalyptic tradition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eApocalyptic is the revelation of things hidden. But what does it mean to be hidden? And why are things hidden in the first place? By gently teasing out the meanings of hiddenness, this book develops a new theory of apocalyptic and explores its relation to the writings of Kant, Hegel, Benjamin and Derrida. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploiting affinities between the work of Luk cs and recent American philosophers like Rorty and Cavell, Bull argues that the central dynamic of late modernity is the coming into hiding of the contradictory identities generated through political and social emancipation. Drawing on analytic and Continental philosophy he articulates the most ambitious philosophy of history since Francis Fukuyama's \u003ci\u003eThe End of History\u003c\/i\u003e, presenting fresh interpretations of such icons of modernity as Hegel's master-slave dialectic, Benjamin's angel of history, Du Bois's concept of double consciousness, and Rawls's veil of ignorance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalcolm Bull\u003c\/b\u003e is a theorist and art historian who teaches at Oxford.
