Rational Radicalism and Political Theory

This magnificent collection of essays in honor of Stephen Bronner is powerful and propitious. Bronner is one of the last grand figures in the rich tradition of Critical Theory. And in this time of the declining American Empire and contracting transatlantic capitalist vitality, we need this tradition and Bronner more than ever! -- Cornel West, Union Theological Seminary
This fine collection was written in honor of the theorist Stephen Bronner. The essays focus particularly on what is distinctive about Bronner's work, his preoccupation with the roots of socialist thought, and particularly critical theory, in enlightenment ideals. The essays show the depth of his influence on a new generation of theorists, not only as a result of the power of his theoretical work, but also because he is an example and a model to these young people as a scholar who tries to link theory to practice. -- Frances Fox Piven, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
