Description: Eva von Redecker reconsiders critical theory's understanding of radical change in order to offer a bold new account of how revolution occurs. She argues that revolutions are not singular events but extended processes: beginning from the interstices of society, they succeed by gradually rearticulating social structures toward a new paradigm.
Review Quotes: This is an original philosophical treatment of the problem of radical social change: how it comes about, to what extent it can be initiated voluntarily, within what limits it might be controllable, how it ought to be evaluated. I am impressed by the seriousness of purpose, the ambition, and the rigor of the treatment.--Raymond Geuss, author of Who Needs a World View?
