Most of the major twentieth-century thinkers develop their thought
through critical dialogues with their predecessors. This anthology
brings together a selection of these dialogues, offering a fresh
approach to modern critical thought from Marx through to the
present day.
The essays, lectures and reviews featured in this volume
represent thinkers from Lukacs and Heidegger to Judith Butler and
Slavoj Zižek. Often at their most accessible introducing their own
key influences and predecessors, these writings therefore provide
an ideal way into the traditions of modern critical thought and
into their own more difficult writings. As the reader proceeds
through the book, the pieces build into a series of overlapping
conversations and arguments, spanning different generations and
crossing boundaries between French, German and English thought. The
book offers an invaluable introduction to traditions of Marxist
critical theory, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, post-structuralism
and post-modern discourse.
The anthology opens with an introductory essay in which the
editor introduces key critical terms and maps out the contested
terrain of criticism and critique implicit in the choice of
particular works. He also introduces each text with contextualizing
notes and suggestions for further reading.
