About this book
This volume explores Andrew Feenberg’s work in critical theory. Feenberg is considered one of the key ‘second generation’ critical theorists, with a keen interest in philosophy of technology. He has made a vital contribution to critical theory in ways that remain of interest given the pressing technological issues of our time. The authors of this book highlight not only the ways that Feenberg has begun to make good on what is often characterized as “the broken promise of critical theory” to address issues of technology, but also the continued importance of critical theory more generally, and of Feenberg’s contributions to understanding this tradition.
Reviews
“The author does a commendable job of bridging the gap between academic discussion and grassroot practices. … Transphobic Hate Crime succeeds in being a lucid read that lays the groundwork for placing violence against the transgender community on par with ethnicity, caste and religion-based hate crime, both legally and socially.” (Ankita Gandhi, Jindal Global Law Review, Vol. 11 (1), 2020)
