A compelling account of the history of critical theory and a useful guide for advanced graduate students and scholars.  Bronner's understanding of the dialectical method is exemplary, and his explanation of it is excellent. A remarkable work. -- Critical SociologyHas the foundation of critical theory been withdrawn with the collapse of communism? Stephen Eric Bronner argues the opposite: only now, liberated from marxian dogmatism, can a genuine critique of modern society begin. He develops his ideas in an immanent and emancipatory confrontation with critical theory and its proponents. A brilliant book! Don't miss it! -- Ulrich Beck
