Zwischenwelten der Kritischen Theorie

Attempts to write a history of ideas of critical theory often resemble the procedure within a Cartesian coordinate system. Starting from the aim of determining a paradigmatic theoretical core, the philosophies considered essential are distributed along the directional axes and then the researcher asks: What is there more of? More Marx or more Freud? More Hegel or more Kant? Contrary to the Cartesian tendency in the history of ideas outlined above, the contributions in this volume examine the intellectual and historical context from which critical theory emerged. In this way, the 'in-between worlds' that were the 'condition of possibility' for the emergence of critical theory become recognisable.
