The Left Hemisphere : Mapping Critical Theory Today Paperback / softback
by Razmig Keucheyan
Paperback / softback
Description
As the crisis of capitalism unfolds, the need for alternatives is felt ever more intensely.
The struggle between radical movements and the forces of reaction will be merciless.
A crucial battlefield, where the outcome of the crisis will in part be decided, is that of theory. Over the last twenty-five years, radical intellectuals across the world have produced important and innovative ideas.
The endeavour to transform the world without falling into the catastrophic traps of the past has been a common element uniting these new approaches. This book-aimed at both the general reader and the specialist-offers the first global cartography of the expanding intellectual field of critical contemporary thought.
More than thirty authors and intellectual currents of every continent are presented in a clear and succinct manner.
A history of critical thought in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries is also provided, helping situate current thinkers in a broader historical and sociological perspective.
