Philosophy as Critique of the Mind

The authors show the dialectical aspects of the evolution of critical theory. In their polemic with J.Habermas third-generation critical theorists (e.g. A. Honneth) refer to the aesthetical, ethical and social-philosophical views of the critical theory classics M. Horkheimer and T.W.Adorno, especially the mimesis concept they outline in the book The Dialectic of Enlightenment.
