Featuring an international team of specialists on the subject, The
Edinburgh Companion to Critical Theory provides a comprehensive
analysis of the changing role of critical theory in the new
century. Taking note of the many new theoretical and
socio-political developments in recent years, the volume
conclusively demonstrates critical theory's continuing relevance
across disciplines ranging from the arts and social sciences
through to the hard sciences. Being theoretically informed is not
an optional part of study any more, it is a necessary, central
part, and The Companion will bring readers up to date with what is
happening across the spectrum of critical theory. The volume
consists of 11 sections comprising 28 chapters, each covering a
particular branch of critical theory from Marxism through to
present-day developments such as Cognitive Theory. Every chapter
considers the historical development of the theory in question,
explaining the main concepts and thinkers involved, before
proceeding to assess where it stands in relation to current
academic and socio-political concerns and debates. Outlining recent
advances in each area, and the emergence of new voices, The
Companion offers readers a welcome opportunity to reorient
themselves within the history and role of critical theory in its
many forms.
