This is an important book. Scholars of Agnes Heller's work will find it exceptionally illuminating. Theorists who would utilize the succession of critical theory that runs from Marx through Lukacs and the Budapest School will find in it a treatment of Heller's distinctive critical theory previously unavailable in any literature. More urgently, this study is so important because as Ward identifies Heller's array of interpretative tools, she also employs them in an argument which ends up placing Heller's Marx on the developmental spectrum of modern liberalism . . . Ward is an adept guide into Heller's thinking and forceful interlocutor for those who are already taken up with it. Her book is mandatory reading for anyone interested in Heller and in alternatives to the Frankfurt line of critical theory. It will prove valuable also for those concerned with how, as Marx intended, the ideological trappings of freedom might cease to stand against the free development of individual personalities and collaborative alliances. * Thesis Eleven *
