This book provides an updated approach to the immanent criticism in our time. Every kind of criticism - from Hegel to the Frankfurt School - is addressed using this term, which criticizes its object out of its own normative principles and without reference to other measures.The contributions show how the immanent critique in various fields (philosophy, sociology, media theory, and social criticism) analyzes issues and questions them in convincing ways - beginning with its own Geltung standards and truth standards.
