Marx And The Postmodernism Debates: An Agenda For Critical Theory
by Lorraine Y. Landry (Author),
Praeger Publishers (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
This book is a meticulous argument for the contemporary value of Marx's
democratic theory as an interpretive key for the postmodernism debates. Landry
uses the works of Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard to represent the
poststructuralist camp and the writings of Habermas to represent the rationalist
camp. Viable social critique, argues Landry, mediates between pure social
constructivist and pure realist metaphysics. Postmodernism, although critical of
Marx, aided the broader project of critical social theory, particularly Marx's
critique of social-material contexts of oppression. Indeed, significant positive
affiliations among Marx, Habermas, and the poststructuralists are found in their
commitment to criticizing ideological aspects of bourgeois Enlightenment
rationality and modernity.
