    On the Experiential Grounds of Critique

    de Lois McNay ...

    A Critical Theory of Political Judgment

    de Albena Azmanova ...
    Series Libro 47 - New Directions in Critical Theory
    Theories of justice are haunted by a paradox: the more ambitious the theory of justice, the less applicable and useful the model is to political practice; yet the more politically realistic the theory, the weaker its moral ambition, rendering it unsound and equally useless. Brokering a resolution to this "judgment paradox," Albena Azmanova advances a "critical consensus model" of judgment that ... Leer más
