Description

Explore new dimensions of critical theory in this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how Jurgen Habermas' theories can be expanded by integrating a broader understanding of fantasy and imagination into the concepts of communicative rationality and communicative pathologies. Author MacKendrick argues that because meaning is produced both through language and performance, desire and fantasy are necessary components of intersubjective relations. By addressing these elements, the text suggests a way for Habermasian social theory to reconnect with the early critical theory of the Frankfurt School. This study offers a deep look into the relationship between linguistic expression and the subjective experiences that shape social interaction. It is a significant resource for students and scholars interested in the evolution of social theory and the complexities of human communication.

Key Features

Examines how desire and fantasy serve as constitutive parts of intersubjective relations.

Analyzes the generation of meaning through both linguistic and performative processes.

Proposes a way to renew ties between Habermasian social theory and the early Frankfurt School.

Provides a scholarly perspective on the development of critical theory within the Studies in Philosophy series.
