Recenzje

'In Knowledge and Ideology: The Epistemology of Social and Political Critique, Michael Morris accomplishes several laudable tasks … [H]is historical account of the development of ideological theory, and his summaries of particular ideological and epistemological theories, is keen. The scope of his histories and summaries entails engaging discussions of Bacon, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Stirner, Nietzsche, Marx, Freud, Foucault, Mannheim, Lukács, Eagleton, Althusser, and a host of other illuminating thinkers. Morris consistently captures the essence of their theories.' Chris Byron, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
