Critical Theory constitutes one of the major intellectual
traditions of the twentieth century, and is centrally important for
philosophy, political theory, aesthetics and theory of art, the
study of modern European literatures and music, the history of
ideas, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies. In this volume
an international team of distinguished contributors examines the
major figures in Critical Theory, including Horkheimer, Adorno,
Marcuse, Benjamin, and Habermas, as well as lesser known but
important thinkers such as Pollock and Neumann. The volume surveys
the shared philosophical concerns that have given impetus to
Critical Theory throughout its history, while at the same time
showing the diversity among its proponents that contributes so much
to its richness as a philosophical school. The result is an
illuminating overview of the entire history of Critical Theory in
the twentieth century, an examination of its central conceptual
concerns, and an in-depth discussion of its future prospects.
