Legitimation Crisis
ISBN: 9780807015216 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In his latest work, Habermas has returned to the study of capitalism, incorporating the distinctive modifications of the Frankfurt School into the foundations of the critique of capitalism. Drawing on both...
