Kyung-Man Kim

Discourses on Liberation

An Anatomy of Critical Theory

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What binds the theoretical work of Pierre Bourdieu, Anthony Giddens, and Jurgen Habermas? Although these and other contemporary theorists offered powerful critiques of society, they stopped short of plausible proposals to achieve the liberation of individuals and societies. Kyung-Man Kim offers a powerful reading of contemporary critical theorists and explains how, by reading them together, we may find a practical basis for progressive social change.
