We live in critical times. We face a global crisis in economics and
finance, a global ecological crisis, and a constant barrage of
international disputes. Perhaps most dishearteningly, there seems
to be little faith in our ability to address such difficult
problems. However, there is also a more positive sense in which
these are critical times. The world's current state of flux gives
us a unique window of opportunity for shaping a new international
order that will allow us to cope with current and future global
crises. In Critical Theory in Critical Times, eleven of the most
distinguished critical theorists offer new perspectives on recent
crises and transformations of the global political and economic
order. Essays from Jurgen Habermas, Seyla Benhabib, Cristina
Lafont, Rainer Forst, Wendy Brown, Christoph Menke, Nancy Fraser,
Rahel Jaeggi, Amy Allen, Penelope Deutscher, and Charles Mills
address pressing issues including international human rights and
democratic sovereignty, global neoliberalism, novel approaches to
the critique of capitalism, critical theory's Eurocentric heritage,
and new directions offered by critical race theory and postcolonial
studies. Sharpening the conceptual tools of critical theory, the
contributors to Critical Theory in Critical Times reveal new ways
of expanding the diverse traditions of the Frankfurt School in
response to some of the most urgent and important challenges of our
times.
