Modernist Radicalism and Its Aftermath: Foundationalism and Anti-foundationalism in Radical Social Theory Book

Modernist Radicalism and its Aftermath explores the ways in which Marx, Durkheim, Althusser and Habermas have all been drawn towards foundationalism, and offers a framework for the analysis of foundationalism in social theory. The articulation of an alternative "post foundational" radicalism is far from simple. Important themes are identified in the work of Simmel, Weber, and Adorno and in some postmodernist theory, but they are at constant risk of regression into metaphysics or nihilism. The book closes with a plea for radicalism which can maintain the accountability of inquiry while facing up to the contingency of value. Modernist Radicalism and its Aftermath offers both an interpretation of "classical" social theory and a presentation of contemporary debates on modernity and postmodernism.Read More
