Juxtaposing a critical analysis of the state of 'domesticated' contemporary Critical Theory with a sympathetic reconstruction of Fromm's work, we identified crucial insights which have been neglected by many of those who work within the ambit of Frankfurt School Critical Theory today. In this endeavour, we seek to build upon and extend the work of Michael J. Thompson, Stathis Kouvelakis, and Nancy Fraser.}, language = {en} }
