Böcker av Raymond A. Morrow

This is an introduction to Brazilian educator Paulo Freire and German critical theorist Jurgen Habermas. It compares their theories and situates their thinking in relation to other social theories and philosophies of education.

Critical Theory traces its roots from Marxism, through the renowned Frankfurt School, to a wide array of national and cultural traditions. Raymond Morrow's book traces the history and outlines the major tenets of critical theory for an undergraduate audience. He exemplifies the theory through an analysis of two leading social theorists: J[um]urgen Habermas and Anthony Giddens. Unique to this volume is the emphasis on the link between Critical Theory and empirical research and social science methodology, often thought to be incompatible.
