Moral Images of Freedom

Exploring the intersections of Kantian philosophy and critical theory, this book highlights the influences of thinkers such as Heidegger, Cassirer, Fanon, and Benjamin. It counters nihilistic views on critical theory's purpose amidst pervasive violence by uncovering symbols of hope and freedom within their works. The text advocates for a decolonization of critical theory and emphasizes the necessity of a renewed commitment to socialism, presenting a compelling case for the relevance of affirmative political philosophy in contemporary discourse.
