What is Ethics and Politics in Contemporary Theory Between Critical Theory and Post-Marxism: Between critical theory and post-Marxism (Routledge Innovations in Political Theory) about?

In addressing the political and theoretical debates between critical and post-Marxist theorists, this book discusses the politics of communication and rationality, subjectivity, sovereignty, ethics and deliberative democracy, considering questions such as: Does the theory of communicative action justify deliberative democracy? Is a theory of hegemony compatible with an account which relies upon an ideal of communicative success? Is autonomy a good which should be fostered? Can the ideal of democracy extend beyond the nation state? Does post-Marxism have anything interesting to say about ethics? Analysing the work of Ernesto Laclau and Jürgen Habermas - as representatives of different choices made in regard to theory, politics and morality - Ethics and Politics in Contemporary Theory develops a critical response to the contrasting conclusions of these approaches. Review 'It is extremely hard to do justice in a short review to the complex arguments developed in this book. They touch upon fundamental problems such as the nature of language, relations between language and reality, and rationality.' - Krzystof Jaskulowski in Political Studies Review About the Author Mark Devenne
