{"product_id":"theory-and-practice","title":"Theory and Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eTheory and Practice is one of Habermass major works and is widely recognized as a classic in contemporary and social and political theory. Through a series of highly original historical studies  Habermas reexamines the relations between philosophy  science and politics. Beginning with the classical doctrine of politics as developed by Aristotle  he traces the changing constellation of theory and practice through the work of Machiavelli  More  Hobbes  Hegel and Marx. He argues that  with the development of the modern sciences  politics has become increasingly regarded as a technical discipline concerned with problems of prediction and control. Politics has thus lost its link with the practical cultivation of character  that is  with the praxis of enlightened citizens. Theory and Practices includes a major reassessment of Marxs work and of the status of Marxism as a form of critique. In an important concluding chapter Habermas examines the role of reason and the prospects for critical theory in our modern scientific civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985345343541,"sku":"ByrdShop_080701527X","price":28.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780807015278.jpg?v=1770855512","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/theory-and-practice","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
