Crisis and Critique

On the Fragile Foundations of Social Life

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book reconsiders the place of the notions of crisis and critique as fundamental means to grasp the fragile condition of the social. It challenges the normalization and dissolution of these "concepts" in contemporary social theory and proposes to consider anew the relationship of crisis and critique as immanent to the political and economic forms of modernity.
