Critical philosophy has always challenged the division between
theory and practice. At its best, it aims to turn contemplation
into emancipation, seeking to transform society in pursuit of
equality, autonomy, and human flourishing. Yet today's critical
theory often seems to engage only in critique. These times of
crisis demand more. Bernard E. Harcourt challenges us to move
beyond decades of philosophical detours and to harness critical
thought to the need for action. In a time of increasing awareness
of economic and social inequality, Harcourt calls on us to make
society more equal and just. Only critical theory can guide us
toward a more self-reflexive pursuit of justice. Charting a vision
for political action and social transformation, Harcourt argues
that instead of posing the question, "What is to be done?" we must
now turn it back onto ourselves and ask, and answer, "What more am
I to do?" Critique and Praxis advocates for a new path forward that
constantly challenges each and every one of us to ask what more we
can do to realize a society based on equality and justice. Joining
his decades of activism, social-justice litigation, and political
engagement with his years of critical theory and philosophical
work, Harcourt has written a magnum opus.
