| Summary: | 'This is the first full-scale engagement between two great intellectual traditions often thought to be antithetical: Marxism and Pragmatism. Focusing on human emancipation and social progress as the common element, Ulf Schulenberg offers an urgent and capacious analysis of how recent and contemporary debates-from Lukács and Adorno to Jacques Rancière, and from Dewey and Rorty to Richard Bernstein-shape and are shaped by this problematic. Rarely have discussions about post-metaphysical philosophy and aesthetic theory been brought together with such deftness and rigor. In short, this is a field-defining book that no one interested in either tradition, or in critical theory tout court, can afford to ignore.' - Robert Doran, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, University of Rochester, USA.
