itself now an historical document (1983), and generally does place in era and history the schools of thought. i may believe mistaken or simplified, the characterization of certain approaches- particularly phenomenology- and pessimism in which he views in total critical project, in late period capitalism, in liberal humanism, but he is balanced, lucid, accessible. if you can read only one lit crit book this year read this one...
