The Social Ontology of c a p i ta l i s m
DA N K RIER & MA RK P. WO RRE LL
Political Philosophy and Public Purpose Series Editor Michael J. Thompson William Paterson University Wayne, New Jersey, USA
This series offers books that seek to explore new perspectives in social and political criticism. Seeing contemporary academic political theory and philosophy as largely dominated by hyper-academic and overly-technical debates, the books in this series seek to connect the politically engaged traditions of philosophical thought with contemporary social and political life. The idea of philosophy emphasized here is not as an aloof enterprise, but rather a publicly-oriented activity that emphasizes rational reflection as well as informed praxis.
