Displaying an impressive command of complex materials, Seyla Benhabib reconstructs the history of theories from a systematic point of view and examines the origins and transformations of the concept of critique from the works of Hegel to Habermas. Through investigating the model of the philosophy of the subject, she pursues the question of how Hegel´s critiques might be useful for reforumulating the foundations of critical social theory.

This is an outstanding collection of essays which brings together for the first time the work of a group of writers well--known in the Marxist--feminist tradition. The essays range from Marx to Foucault and go beyond them to offer genuine advances in the way social and political life can be reconceptualized in the light of feminist critique.

Seyla Benhabib liefert eine sorgfältige Darstellung der philosophischen Fundamente der Kritischen Theorie – eine intensive Befragung ihrer Ideenquellen bei Kant und Hegel und ihrer Entwicklungsgeschichte bis zu Jürgen Habermas. Verglichen mit anderen Werken zu diesem Thema ist die Arbeit der amerikanischen Philosophin sowohl systematischer komponiert als auch in ihren philosophiehistorischen Differenzierungen von erstaunlicher Schlüssigkeit und Präzision.

Bennett’s historical studies are an extreme example of an analytical approach to past philosophy. Historical positions are taken as sets of discrete propositions to be assessed by current criteria with little regard to their context. Rorty writes of Bennett’s ‘conversations with the British Empiricists about phenomenalism’, for example: ‘we have a fulfillment of the natural desire to talk to people, some of whose ideas are quite like our own, in the hope of getting them to admit that we have gotten those ideas clearer, or in the hope of getting them clearer still in the course of the conversation’ (‘The historiography of philosophy: four genres’, in R. Rorty, J. B. Schneewind and Q. Skinner, Philosophy in History, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1988, p. 52). Bennett’s Linguistic Behaviour (1976) presents a detailed view of language as ‘essentially a matter of systematic communicative behaviour’. The later Events and their Names (1988) continues to exemplify his desire to ‘analyse’ what he sees as ‘our’ concepts—in this case ‘our event concept’ the aim being: ‘just to describe how it works and how it relates to its neighbors.. to get the concept, of an event into perspective and to command a whole, clear view of what its strengths and weaknesses are’. This typifies Bennett’s philosophical approach.
