Notable facets of this social philosopher's work include criticism of neo-Kantianism and post-modernism, along with what has been described as "a forceful defence of Hegel's speculative thought."〔From the back cover of the 2009 Verso Books reprint of ''Hegel contra Sociology''.〕 ==Life and work== Gillian Rose was born in London into a non-practicing Jewish family. Shortly after her parents divorced, when Rose was still quite young, her mother married another man, her stepfather, with whom Rose became close as she drifted from her biological father. These aspects of her family life figured in her late memoir ''Love's Work: A Reckoning with Life'' (1995). Also in her memoir, she claims that her "passion for philosophy" was bred at age 17 when she read Pascal's ''Pensées'' and Plato's ''The Republic''.〔Rose, Gillian (1995). ''Love's Work''. The New York Review of Books. p. 128.〕 Rose attended St Hilda's College, Oxford, where she read economics, philosophy, and politics. Taught philosophy by Jean Austin, widow of the philosopher J. L. Austin, she later described herself as bristling under the constraints of Oxford-style philosophy. She never forgot Austin remarking in class, "Remember, girls, all the philosophers you will read are much more intelligent than you are."〔Rose (1995). p. 129.〕 And in a late interview, Rose commented of philosophers trained at Oxford, "It teaches them to be clever, destructive, supercilious and ignorant. It doesn’t teach you what’s important. It doesn’t feed the soul."〔Lloyd, Vincent (2008). "Interview with Gillian Rose". ''Theory, Culture & Society'', Vol. 25 Issue 7/8. p. 207.〕 Rose's career began with a dissertation on Theodor W. Adorno, supervised by the Polish philosopher Leszek Kołakowski, who wryly spoke to her of Adorno as a third-rate thinker. This dissertation eventually became the basis for her first book, ''The Melancholy Science: An Introduction to the Thought of Theodor W. Adorno'' (1978). She became well known partly through her critiques of postmodernism and post-structuralism. In ''Dialectic of Nihilism'' (1984), for instance, she leveled criticisms at Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida. Later, in her essay "Of Derrida's Spirit" in ''Judaism and Modernity'' (1993), Rose critiqued Derrida's ''Of Spirit'' (1987), arguing that his analysis of Heidegger's relation to Nazism relied in key instances on serious misreadings of Hegel, which allowed both Heidegger and Derrida to evade the importance of political history and modern law. In an extended "Note" to the essay, Rose raised similar objections to Derrida's subsequent readings of Hermann Cohen〔Derrida, Jacques (1991). "Interpretations at War: Kant, the Jew, the German". ''New Literary History'' 22. pp. 39–95.〕 and Walter Benjamin,〔Derrida, Jacques (1990). "Force of Law: The 'Mystical Foundation of Authority' ", in two Parts. ''Cardozo Law Review'' vol. 11, 5–6. pp. 919–73; 973–1039.〕 singling out his notion of the "mystical foundation of authority" as a centrally problematic.〔Rose, Gillian (1993). ''Judaism and Modernity''. Blackwell. pp. 79–87.〕 She was Reader at the School of European Studies (the University of Sussex) and then Professor of Social and Political Thought at the University of Warwick from 1989 to her death in 1995. As part of her thinking into the Holocaust, Professor Rose was engaged by the Polish Commission for the Future of Auschwitz in 1990. Rose died in Coventry at the age of 48 after a severe two-year battle with ovarian cancer.〔 She made a deathbed conversion to Christianity through the Anglican Church.〔Wolf, Arnold Jacob (1997). "The Tragedy of Gillian Rose." ''Judaism: A Quarterly Journal of Jewish Life and Thought'' 46, no. 184.〕 She left to the library of Warwick University parts of her own personal library, including a collection of essential works on the History of Christianity and Theology, which are marked "From the Library of Professor Gillian Rose, 1995" on the inside cover. Rose is survived by her parents, her sister, the academic and writer Jacqueline Rose, her half sisters, Alison Rose and Diana Stone, and her half brother, Anthony Stone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gillian Rose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
