Reviews

-This collection of previously published papers by two well-known and highly respected authors... is not a systematic history, but traces the development in the authors' own thinking, which parallels a wider Western intellectual movement from Marxism (the classical formulation of radical universalism) through a post-Marxism period to their present postmodern position... Highly recommended for graduate students and faculty in political philosophy, sociology, the history of ideas, and Marxism.-

--D. C. Lee, Choice
