Whether or not the tradition of the Frankfurt School is followed, Critical Theories are always about an undogmatic reading of Marxist theory, the critique of global capitalist modernity, the question of how this critique should be normatively grounded and how different academic disciplines should complement each other in a common endeavor of critical social and cultural research. The book provides an overview of debates and variants of critical theories in selected countries.
