End of Progress - Decolonizing the Normative Foundations of Critical Theory Paperback
While post- and decolonial theorists have thoroughly debunked the idea of historical progress as a Eurocentric, imperialist, and neocolonialist fallacy, many of the most prominent contemporary thinkers associated with the Frankfurt School--J rgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, and Rainer Forst--have defended ideas of progress, development, and modernity and have even made such ideas central to their normative claims. And what would a decolonized critical theory look like?Amy Allen fractures critical theory from within by dispensing with its progressive reading of history while retaining its notion of progress as a political imperative, so eloquently defended by Adorno. Can the Frankfurt School's goal of radical social change survive this critique?
In reimagining a decolonized Critical theory, according to Allen, is the best resource we have for achieving emancipatory social goals.
