This unique work analyzes the crisis in modern society, building on
the ideas of the Frankfurt School thinkers. Emphasizing social
evolution and learning processes, it argues that crisis is mediated
by social class conflicts and collective learning, the results of
which are embodied in constitutional and public law. First, the
work outlines a new categorical framework of critical theory in
which it is conceived as a theory of crisis. It shows that the
Marxist focus on economy and on class struggle is too narrow to
deal with the range of social conflicts within modern society, and
posits that a crisis of legitimization is at the core of all
crises. It then discusses the dialectic of revolutionary and
evolutionary developmental processes of modern society and its
legal system. This volume in the Critical Theory and Contemporary
Society by a leading scholar in the field provides a new approach
to critical theory that will appeal to anyone studying political
sociology, political theory, and law.
