Cary Wolfe: Critical Environments: Postmodern Theory and the Pragmatics of the “Outside” (1998)
Filed under book | Tags: · postmodern, systems theory
“Unique in its collation of major theorists rarely considered together, Critical Environments incorporates detailed discussions of the work of Richard Rorty, Walter Benn Michaels, Stanley Cavell, Humberto Maturana, Francisco Varela, Niklas Luhmann, Donna Haraway, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Fredric Jameson, and others, and ranges across fields from feminist philosophy of science to the theory of ideology. Offering American readers a comprehensive introduction to systems theory and responding to the widespread charge of relativism leveled against it, Wolfe’s work will enhance and inspire new kinds of critical thought.”
