This is a result of the unchecked embrace of an aggressive variant of \u0026amp;#x27;recognition theory\u0026amp;#x27;. While first-generation critical theorists grasped the potency of structural power as a force that reified thought, denatured the imagination and recoded desires, recognition theory views power as a post-hoc effect that exists only after intersubjective relations have been established. This is a troubling state of affairs and has led to the debilitation of the Frankfurt School's research programme. New and secure social-theoretical foundations are urgently needed. In this regard, the work of first-generation critical theorists such as Erich Fromm and Herbert Marcuse remains as powerful today as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920511549598,"sku":"ING-9781526154736","price":194.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526154736.jpg?v=1782822599","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526154736","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
