Critical Theory in Critical Times
This book is welcome and needed; I highly recommend it to all those interested in social justiceIt offers a sophisticated, exceptionally well-crafted answer to a highly pertinent question: what social scientific criteria are there for making normative judgments about why and how Western civilization should change? -- Ronjon Paul Datta * Studies in Social Justice *
This volume is a significant contribution to the debates over the history of the Frankfurt School and the contemporary relevance of critical social theory. Axel Honneth’s work provides a subtle reading of history that is less concerned with putting its products in their place—though he does do that in an exemplary fashion—than in highlighting what is living and vibrant in those products for contemporary thought. -- Christopher F. Zurn, University of Massachusetts Boston
These essays reflect a deep familiarity with each individual author while also serving to advance the particular approach characterizing Axel Honneth’s work: a focus on the theme of suffering and moral struggle as the point of departure for a more ambitious, ‘reconstructive’ form of social criticism. As such, this volume makes a very significant contribution to the continuing relevance of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School for contemporary forms of social criticism. -- Kenneth Baynes, Syracuse University
