The Critique of Power: Reflective Stages in a Critical Social Theory
"We owe a large debt to Axel Honneth for uncovering some of the theoretical affinities between the work of the Frankfurt School and that of Foucault. . . . The Critique of Power is a demanding book but also an immensely rewarding one."
-- John B. Thompson, "Times Higher Education Supplement" In this rich interpretation of the history of critical theory, Axel Honneth clarifies critical theory's central problems and emphasizes the social factors that should provide it with a normative and practical orientation.
