 | Critical Social Theory by Gary M. Simpson
Simpson ably introduces critical social theory, the German-born intellectual movement that has spawned sharp criticisms of modernity, its use of reason, and our highly technological, bureaucratic culture. Chapter 1 recounts the emergence of critical social theory within the Frankfurt School of Social Research and the theological stirrings that the Frankfurt project sparked, especially in Benjamin and Tillich. Chapter 2 explores Jurgen Habermas`s reconception and expansion of critical social theory, especially his ideas about hermeneutics, praxis, and communicative action. Finally, in chapter 3 Simpson shows how theologians have employed critical social theory in fundamental, systematic, and practical theology, and he offers his own constructive proposal for their future interaction. Simpson`s book will be invaluable for understanding this important intellectual development. AUTHOR: Gary M. Simpson
