The Experience of Injustice: A Theory of Recognition (New Directions in Critical Theory)

The Experience of Injustice: A Theory of Recognition (New Directions in Critical Theory) by Emmanuel Renault
English | June 4th, 2019 | ISBN: 0231177062 | 304 pages | EPUB | 1.66 MB

In The Experience of Injustice, the French philosopher Emmanuel Renault opens an important new chapter in critical theory. He brings together political theory, critical social science, and a keen sense of the power of popular movements to offer a forceful vision of social justice. Questioning normative political philosophy's conception of justice, Renault gives an account of injustice as the denial of recognition, placing the experience of social suffering at the heart of contemporary critical theory.

Genealogies of Terrorism: Revolution, State Violence, Empire (New Directions in Critical Theory)

Genealogies of Terrorism: Revolution, State Violence, Empire (New Directions in Critical Theory) by Verena Erlenbusch
English | July 31st, 2018 | ISBN: 0231187262, 0231187270 | 296 Pages | EPUB | 0.87 MB

What is terrorism? What ought we to do about it? And why is it wrong? We think we have clear answers to these questions. But acts of violence, like U.S. drone strikes that indiscriminately kill civilians, and mass shootings that become terrorist attacks when suspects are identified as Muslim, suggest that definitions of terrorism are always contested. In Genealogies of Terrorism, Verena Erlenbusch-Anderson rejects attempts to define what terrorism is in favor of a historico-philosophical investigation into the conditions under which uses of this contested term become meaningful.
Death and Mastery: Psychoanalytic Drive Theory and the Subject of Late Capitalism (New Directions in Critical Theory)

Death and Mastery: Psychoanalytic Drive Theory and the Subject of Late Capitalism (New Directions in Critical Theory) by Benjamin Y. Fong
English | November 8th, 2016 | ISBN: 0231176686, 0231176694 | 239 Pages | PDF | 2.52 MB

The first philosophers of the Frankfurt School famously turned to the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud to supplement their Marxist analyses of ideological subjectification. Since the collapse of their proposed “marriage of Marx and Freud,” psychology and social theory have grown increasingly apart to the impoverishment of both. Returning to this unholy union, Benjamin Y. Fong reconstructs the psychoanalytic “foundation stone” of critical theory in the effort to once again think together the possibility of psychic and social transformation.

Transitional Subjects: Critical Theory and Object Relations (New Directions in Critical Theory)

Transitional Subjects: Critical Theory and Object Relations (New Directions in Critical Theory) by Amy Allen, Brian O'Connor
English | January 11th, 2020 | ISBN: 0231183194, 0231183186 | 280 pages | EPUB | 1.83 MB

Critical social theory has long been marked by a deep, creative, and productive relationship with psychoanalysis. Whereas Freud and Fromm were important cornerstones for the early Frankfurt School, recent thinkers have drawn on the object-relations school of psychoanalysis. Transitional Subjects is the first book-length collection devoted to the engagement of critical theory with the work of Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, and other members of this school.

In response to unprecedented environmental degradation, activists and popular movements have risen up to fight the crisis of climate change and the ongoing devastation of the earth. The environmental movement has undeniably influenced even its adversaries, as the language of sustainability can be found in corporate mission statements, government policy, and national security agendas.

In a world of political upheaval, rising inequality, catastrophic climate change, and widespread doubt of even the most authoritative sources of information, is there a place for critique? This book calls for a systematic reappraisal of critical thinking—its assumptions, its practices, its genealogy, its predicament—following the principle that critique can only start with self-critique.
