Abstract

This book envisions a more practical effectiveness of critical theory thru consideration of concrete alternatives that allow for the capability of a gradually transformed and redeemed reality. Mordacci combines critique with utopia, and inspires new visions in political thought aimed at dismantling structures of domination and constructing a more emancipated version of social life. This text appeals to both students and researchers.
