Theories and Narratives

'Callinicos's well read both in recent philosophy of history and in recent postmodern theory, and engages with both of these in a clear and interesting way.' Australian Journal of Philosophy

'An outstanding piece of committed scholarship, impressive in its intellectual scope, rational argumentation and clarity of exposition.' Radical Philosophy

'Few social and political theorists in recent years can match the combination of quality and quantity in the writings of Alex Callinicos. This book offers incisive and lucid discussions in his best manner of the views on history of a range of contemporary thinkers from Francis Fukuyama to Hayden White and Robert Brenner.'
