Description: In the context of a new global order where the logic of the market reigns virtually unopposed, there is a clear need for original thinking that might reinvigorate a progressive political project. We need to find a convincing set of normative standards that can animate political action and direct us towards a just order. This collection of essay assesses the prospects for reconstituting a vibrant intellectual forum that will facilitate theoretical perspectives that have emerged in response to this crisis of philosophically inspired criticism. The volume gathers together, in a mutually enriching dialogue, critical agendas that have been built on the insights of egalitarians, socialists, critical theorists, poststructuralists, and theorists of psychoanalysis and hermeneutics.
