Review

'De Boer and Sonderegger have compiled an invaluable historical inventory of conceptions of critique from Spinoza to Rancière. Beginning with a riveting essay by Judith Butler, who recalls that critique is the condition for dissent, this volume provides Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Adorno, Foucault, among others, with fresh and challenging philosophical profiles. All students of critique will want this volume on their bookshelf.' - Jay Bernstein, New School for Social Research, New York, USA'This is a uniquely rich and diverse volume which offers both historical reconstructions of (mostly) post-Kantian conceptions of critique and evaluative discussions of the nature and future of critique as a method. I very much recommend this book to anyone interested in questions of normativity and justification.' - Béatrice Han-Pile, University of Essex, UK

Long Description

Does philosophical critique have a future? What are its possibilities, limits, and presuppositions? Bringing together outstanding scholars from various traditions, this collection of essays is the first to examine the forms of critique that have shaped modern and contemporary continental thought. Through critical analyses of key texts by, among others, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Adorno, Habermas, Foucault, and Ranci re, it traces the way critique has time and again geared itself towards new cultural, social, and political problems, shedding those of its assumptions no longer deemed tenable. It is our hope that the many voices of critique that arise from the present volume will produce effects " new doubts, new insights, new challenges, or new resources " that none of them could have achieved by itself.
