The Edinburgh Companion to Critical Theory Paperback - 2022
by Stuart Sim (Editor)
From the rear cover
A wide-ranging reference guide to the changing role of critical theory in the twenty-first century Featuring an international team of specialists on the subject, The Edinburgh Companion to Critical Theory provides a comprehensive analysis of the changing role of critical theory in the new century. Taking note of the many new theoretical and socio-political developments in recent years, the volume conclusively demonstrates critical theory's continuing relevance across disciplines ranging from the arts and social sciences through to the hard sciences. Being theoretically informed is not an optional part of study any more, it is a necessary, central part, and The Companion will bring you up to date with what is happening across the spectrum of critical theory. The volume consists of 11 sections comprising 28 chapters, each covering a particular branch of critical theory from Marxism through to present-day developments such as Cognitive Theory. Every chapter considers the historical development of the theory in question, explaining the main concepts and thinkers involved, before proceeding to assess where it stands in relation to current academic and socio-political concerns and debates. Outlining recent advances in each area, and the emergence of new voices, The Companion offers readers a welcome opportunity to reorient themselves within the history and role of critical theory in its many forms. Key Features - Ranges from the humanities and social sciences right through to the hard sciences - Consists of contributions from highly experienced academic specialists from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand - Brings critical theory right up to date with new developments such as Cognitive Theory ('Cognitivism') Stuart Sim is retired Professor of Critical Theory at Northumbria University. He has published widely on critical theory, and is a Fellow of the English Association. Amongst his recent publications are Fifty Key Postmodern Thinkers (2013), and, with Brett Wilson and Barbara Hawkins (eds) Art, Science and Cultural Understanding (2014).
