Contributions in the melee of critical theory:

We are delighted to finally be able to present to you the volume "Critique and Reconciliation - Contributions in the Melee of Critical Theory", which has just been published and brings together papers from the congress.

The contributions approach the relationship between the concepts of critique and reconciliation as well as the analysis of the social conditions constituting this relationship in a very diverse way, but at the same time promote the aim of the congress to counter the marginalisation of critical theory at universities. In this respect, the congress can also be understood as an initiative of the political work of the student body of philosophy in Oldenburg. In addition to an introduction and a commentary, the volume contains a total of 18 essays as well as an appendix that introduces the authors and documents the congress weekend (mainly in the form of photographs). In addition to the specialist lectures, there was also a supporting programme of literary texts and music.

To give you a more detailed impression, you can have a look at the abstracts of the contributions. We would of course be very pleased if you are interested in our volume. If you would like to purchase a copy of the volume for € 19.80, you can do so on Amazon, directly via BIS-Verlag or by contacting us at .
For those on a tight budget, the texts are also available online free of charge. The anthology can also be borrowed from the Oldenburg University Library and numerous other libraries.

With best regards
the editorial team Jaro Ehlers, Eike Köhler, Ulrich Mathias Gerr, Martin Vialon & Steffen Stolzenberger
