Author George Snedeker refers to both the work of the Frankfurt School and other neomarxist social theorists as well as any recent work in literary criticism. Using Critical Theory, Snedeker explores the continuing relevance of new marxist social and political theory. He provides an evaluation of the contributions to contemporary social theory of the main figures of Western Marxism, including Gerog Lukacs, Edward W. Said, Raymond Williams, Jürgen Habermas, and Oliver C. Cox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Foreword Chapter 2 Preface Chapter 3 Acknowledgements Chapter 4 Western Marxism and the Problem of History Chapter 5 The Politics of Epistemology: Gerog Lukacs and the Critique of Irrationalism Chapter 6 Edward Said and the Critique of Orientalism Chapter 7 Between Humanism and Social Theory: The Cultural Criticism of Raymond Williams Chapter 8 Defending the Enlightenment: Jürgen Habermas and the Theory of Communicative Reason Chapter 9 Capitalism, Racism and the Struggle for Democracy Chapter 10 Index","brand":"Rlpg\/Galleys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037780967767,"sku":"9780761828150","price":35.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761828150.jpg?v=1750937281","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-politics-of-critical-theory-9780761828150","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
