Description
Authoritarianism: Three Inquiries in Critical Theory explores the current state of politics and liberal democracy. Wendy Brown, Peter E. Gordon, and Max Pensky examine how critical theory can help understand the forces behind this shift.
The authors investigate the historical and political contradictions that have led to this moment, offering urgent responses to the demands of the day. They draw on their engagements with nineteenth- and twentieth-century thought to shed light on the cultural and historical circumstances that lend authoritarianism its force.
