  • E. P. Thompson, 1924-1993
    NEWS E. P. Thompson, 1924-1993 The great bustard has winged off, removing as he went one of the prime attractions of these shores, and one of the few remaining reasons for still proclaiming intellectual allegiance to them. Thompson liked to present himself as an earth-bound English creature incapable of much soaring. But he had enough of the lark in him to have died singing, as Blake is said to have done; and who knows but that he did in his own fashion, for he was of that spirit. Thompson's trust in 'experience' shared common roots with Blake's 'Auguries of Innocence'. He knew what the poet meant when he warned that 'He who shall teach the Child to Doubt, The rotting Grave shall neer get out' , and he has escaped that rot, and will live with us now as one of the most inspirational voices of English culture. Thompson has been rightly acclaimed the great­ est English historian of the post-war period, and his stature as a peace activist aptly compared to that of Bertrand Russell. But as a polemicist and radical visionary, he may be ranked in a canon which transcends our own century. Thompson was not simply a rill, to invoke Coleridge' s metaphor, flowing with a perforation in the tanks ofBlake, and Morris, Swift and Cobbett. He was himself a fountain comparable to theirs. But perhaps the watery image is not the most appropriate. In many respects he was more like a power house; and although illness had already reduced some of the force before he died, now that he has been finally extinguished, one feels the cut in energy The other great family influence was exerted posthumously by his all the more acutely.

Book Review F. J. Mootz III and G. H. Taylor, eds. Gadamer and Ricoeur: Critical Horizons for Contemporary Hermeneutics (New York/London: Continuum, 2011), 297 pp. Five years ago, it was totally impossible to find a book entirely dedicated to a systematic study of the complex relations between the hermeneutics of Gadamer and Ricoeur. This was quite surprising if we consider the importance of these two philosophers to the development of a hermeneutical philosophy over the last century. Fortunately, it seems that the relevance of a critical discussion on Gadamer’s and Ricoeur’s hermeneutics has recently become more obvious, first with the publication of Daniel Frey’s book on L’interprétation et la lecture chez Ricoeur et Gadamer (2008), and now with this initiative of Francis J. Mootz III and George H. Taylor to bring into conversation "Gadamerian and Ricoeurian scholars" in one volume. The result of this well- inspired idea is a book containing twelve chapters studying, from different perspectives, the agreements and disagreements between Gadamer’s and Ricoeur’s philosophies, not without significant convergences and divergences between the authors.

  • Decolonizing Ethics Penn State Series in Critical Theory Eduardo Mendieta, General Editor
    Decolonizing Ethics Penn State Series in Critical Theory Eduardo Mendieta, General Editor The Penn State Series in Critical Theory showcases the work of contemporary critical theorists who are building upon and expanding the canon of the Frankfurt School. Based on a series of symposia held at Penn State University, each volume in the series contains an original essay by an internationally renowned critical theorist, followed by a set of critical essays from a number of authors as well as the theorist’s response to these essays. Books in the series will focus especially on topics that have been previously neglected by the Frankfurt tradition, including colonialism and imperialism, racism, sexism, and ethnocentrism. They offer analyses and readings that show the continuing relevance of one of the most innovative intellectual traditions of the last century.

  • On the Development of Critical Theory
    Analyse & Kritik 30/2008 ( c Lucius & Lucius, Stuttgart) p. 331–354 Anton Leist The Long Goodbye: On the Development of Critical Theory Abstract: It is not easy to give up on a tradition that promises to rationalize, explain, and thereby ultimately help improve, society. This article narrates the history of Cri- tical Theory in three stages, following the dynamics of its own self-criticism during distinct historical periods and within different societies. Horkheimer/Adorno, Haber- mas and Honneth are read as participating in a philosophical project of societal ratio- nalism which can be criticized by appeal to a pragmatist view of social theories, and specifically the ‘pragmatic maxim’. In spite of its post-metaphysical announcements, Critical Theory overextends itself when it seeks to reconcile fully the normative and the empirical. An alternative, and more explicitly ethical and empirically controllable, scheme for critical theories (plural!) is suggested. 0. Why We Need Critical Theory The idea of a ‘critical theory’ of society—importantly, of society as a whole—has dropped out of present debates in social philosophy and the social sciences, and it may have dropped out for good. Moral and political philosophy have regained the intellectual terrain they lost to Marxism and the newly emerging discipline of sociology at the end of the 19th century. Today statements about how to improve society are typically suggestions for small-scale improvements to special institutions within society, backed up by reference to ‘our’ moral intuitions, a common moral knowledge taken as given among a representative part of citizens, or, even more abstractly, among humans.
