Contested Knowledge by John Phillips
This is an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to critical theory, providing a comprehensive overview of the practice, role and importance of theory across the humanities and social sciences. Key concepts and terms are explained and presented with examples and references.
'The great advantage of Contested Knowledge is that it is a genuinely critical guide to critical theoryPhillips explores theory since Kant, and is himself prepared to be appropriately critical of it. Yet he neither excludes those with no knowledge of theory or alienates those already familiar with its fundamentals. Contested Knowledge is thus a text which deserves to be strongly recommended.' Macdonald Daly, University of Nottingham
