- Summary
- "This book argues for the importance of understanding the relationship of critical theory to key nineteenth-century thinkers in terms of the problem of skepticism. In so doing, it reconstructs and realigns the history of skepticism, exploring its meaning and significance within ancient and modern philosophy, and uncovers a major and hitherto under-explored line of continuity between the critical theory paradigm and post-Kantian philosophy."--Jacket.
