"Modern Critical Thought is a unique historical collection of the major voices in critical thinking from Lukács to Žižek. Drew Milne has drawn together engagements between thinkers that underscore how critical thought evolves as a series of debates and acts of differentiation. The book is ideal for students wishing to familiarize themselves with some of the crucial debates of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and to witness how critical thinkers assess and appraise one another. Milne has a keen eye for selecting the most pertinent and exciting materials in the tradition of critical thinking." Michael Ryan, Northeastern University
