Axel Honneth on Critical Theory - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 789
Critical Theory/Honneth/Sigwart: Honneth combines the basic concerns of Critical Theories, such as their approaches to a reinterpretation of Hegel and Marx and the combination of social theoretical reflection with empirical research, including suggestions of American pragmatism. The works of George Herbert Mead (1) and John Dewey serve as reference points. (2)
