Abstract

This article addresses the relation between early critical theory (Adorno and Horkheimer), the work of Habermas and that of what can be called a third generation (Honneth, Benhabib, Fraser). It is suggested that, despite the arguments that can be made for the more speculative approach of early critical theory, there were good reasons for Habermas’s departure from it and that more recent critical theory essentially builds on this approach.
