John Grant

Dialectics and Contemporary Politics

Critique and Transformation from Hegel through Post-Marxism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dialectics and Contemporary Politics develops a full theory of dialectics in order to reset the terms of dialectical critique and affirm its ability to produce radical insights about contemporary society. Dialectical thought has been the subject of sustained criticism since the 1960s, when competing approaches such as structuralism, genealogy, deconstruction and post-Marxism took political theorizing in new directions.
