Reviews

Leading philosophers, social researchers and cultural theorists are contributing to this great book on Hans-Herbert Koegler's much noticed Critical Hermeneutics. Koegler has invented Critical Hermeneutics as an outstanding progression of the Frankfurt school's critical theory that is fruitful for research programs and challenging for political praxis. The volume impressively documents the international scale, impact and critique of this promising and singular mix of social philosophy, social research and social criticism. A must-read. * Hauke Brunkhorst, Senior Professor, European University Flensburg, Germany *
