Recenzii
‘ … it (the book) definitely deserves our attention as it provides a perspective on all of the key figures of the first generation of the Frankfurt school, from an entirely different angle from that of the well know classical studies of Martin Jay and David Held, with which the book can be compared.’ — Evangelos Liotzis, Capital and Class
'How do we get out of here? We know that capitalism is a catastrophe for humanity, but we seem to be trapped. All our struggles seem to lead us back to the same starting point: the reproduction, in one way or another, of the logic of capital, the logic of death and destruction. We desperately need to break the grammar of capital, the conceptual and organisational framework that leads us round and round in circles. That is why Vasilis Grolios’s book is so important. It is not just an excellent development of an intellectual tradition: it confronts us with the need to break deadening, death-bringing mainstream theory. Read it.' — John Holloway, Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla
‘I would highly recommend this book both to professional academics and students of political and social philosophy, sociology and political science, and to everyone non-academic who would like to develop a critical perspective of modern societies and their various and enduring pathologies.’ — Yiorgos Moraitis, Critical Sociology
‘Vasilis Grollios has written a timely and courageous book. His book is timely because, as Werner Bonefeld points out in his Foreword, ‘conventional democratic processes have been rocked by populist assertions about making this or that political economy great and strong’. His book is courageous because, as its subtitle indicates, it explores not merely specific formulations by a given theorist but Marxism and the ‘critical theory tradition’ as a whole.’ — Richard Gunn, Journal of Classical Sociology
‘… without question a work of important scholarship, in particular, his strong chapters on Adorno and Horkheimer as well as Marx demonstrate a powerful mind at work.’— Michael J. Thompson, Socialism and Democracy

Descriere
Explores the practical relevance of these notions for a contemporary democratic theory. Vasilis Grollios offers a unique overview of the key concepts of totality, negativity, fetishization, contradiction, mystification, identity thinking, dialectics and corporeal materialism as they have been employed by the major thinkers of the critical theory tradition – Marx, Engels, Horkheimer, Lukacs, Adorno, Marcuse, E. Bloch and J. Holloway.
