Title: Marxism, mysticism, and modern theory
Description: Just how critical is contemporary social theory? These essays challenge the claims of the main currents of social and cultural studies: identity theory, feminism, social construction, gay studies, criminology and comparative religion. With contributions from G. A. Cohen, Internet innovator Keith Teare and a new generation of Marxists, this collection puts the theory of alienation back into critical thinking.

Marxism, Mysticism and Modern Theory argues that without understanding the way that alienated social relations are necessarily mystified, social theory cannot penetrate beneath immediate appearances.
