From Neo-Marxism to Democratic Theory : Essays on the Critical Theory of Soviet-type Societies PDF
by Andrew Arato
Description
The essays in this volume trace an intellectual odyssey, a search for a genuinely critical theory.
The book begins with the question of why the Frankfurt School as well as other neo-Marxist and post-Marxist analysts, both in the West and in dissident circles in the East, failed to produce a critical theory of Soviet socialism or to establish a dynamic relationship with contemporary social movements.
As the political struggle in Eastern Europe intensified, the author of this book disengaged from his own efforts to reconstruct a critical Marxism.
Instead, he attempts a reconstruction of democratic theory based on civil society rather than class categories, and with a critical relevance not only to the transition from state socialism but more generally to the universal goal of emancipation.
