Informationen zum Autor Edited by Charles Reitz - Contributions by Kevin B. Anderson; David Brodsky; Patricia Pollock Brodsky; Lloyd C. Daniel; Jodi Dean; Douglas Dowd; Arnold L. Farr; Henry A. Giroux; Alfred T. Kisubi; John Marciano; Peter Marcuse; Peter McLaren; Stephen Sparta Klappentext Crisis and Commonwealth extends the critical theories of Marcuse and Marx to an analysis of the intensifying inequalities symptomatic of our current economic distress. A new foundation for emancipatory practice is proposed—a labor theory of ethics and commonwealth. The collection appeals to the contemporary interests of college students and teachers in several interrelated social science disciplines: sociology, social problems, economics, ethics, business ethics, labor education, history, political philosophy, multicultural education, and critical pedagogy. It concludes with a manifesto for radical educators by Peter McLaren. No one knows better than Charles Reitz that critical theory-at its best-is a three-legged stool, constructed with great care and attention to political economy, aesthetics, and pedagogy. When any one of these radical elements is missing, critical praxis is impoverished; however, when they are carefully fused together by a scholar and editor of Reitz's stature, then the intellectual legacy of Marx and Marcuse is renewed to work again in our time for projects of resistance, refusal, and liberation. I highly recommend Crisis and Commonwealth: Marcuse, Marx, Manifesto. -- Andrew T. Lamas, University of Pennsylvania Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments Introduction.
