Book SynopsisThis first volume in a new series of essays from the archive of the British journal Radical Philosophy reflects upon the rich and troubled history of the Enlightenment concept of critique as it has been extended, transformed, translated and betrayed in Marxism, feminism and post-colonial theory. The editors, Austin Gross, Matt Hare and Marie Louise Krogh, are PhD candidates in the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP), Kingston University London.
