About this title

Review:

"Kellner's ambitious and useful book attempts not only to provide a conspectus of critical theory, but to carry forward what he takes to be its essential design -- to 'do' critical theory as well as to analyze it." -- Berel Lang, Philosophy and Literature

From the Back Cover:

From its beginnings in the 1930's, the critical theory of the so-called Frankfurt School has refused to situate itself within any arbitrary or conventional academic divisions. Traversing and undermining boundaries between competing disciplines, it stresses interconnections among philosophy, economics and politics, culture and society.
