Agnes Heller is one of the leading thinkers to come out of the
tradition of critical theory. Her awesome intellectual range and
output includes ethics, philosophical anthropology, political
philosophy and a theory of modernity and its culture. Hungarian by
birth, she was one of the best known dissident Marxists in central
Europe in the 1960's and 1970's. Since her forced immigration she
has held visiting lectureships all over the world and has been the
Hannah Arendt Professor of Philosophy at the New School in New York
for the last twenty years. This introduction to her thought is
ideal for all students of philosophy, political theory and
sociology. Grumley explores Heller's early work, elaborating her
relation to Lukacs and the evolution of her own version of Marxism.
He examines the subsequent break with Marxism and the initial
development of an alternative radical philosophy. Finally, he
explains and assesses her mature reflective post-modernism, a
perspective that is both sceptical and utopian, that upholds a
critical humanist perspective just as it critiques contemporary
democratic culture.
