Periods of the Epoch: Shifts between Nominalist and Realist Versions of a Concept

Periods of the Epoch: Shifts between Nominalist and Realist Versions of a Concept - 2002.
23
The nominalist critique of the concept of the epoch has the effect of relegating and discarding the various philosophies of history. Such a critique, necessary as it is, is nonetheless doomed to fail if it does not promote the critical apprehension of reality in terms of a renewed epochal thinking capable of addressing capitalism as it currently stands, as an actualized world-system. The idea of a general history is one which does not consent to its postmodern effacement or dissolution. It is, on the contrary, an idea which can reemerge in a renewed, transmodern version.
