Book Review

This review discusses two texts by Roberto Mangabeira Unger - Knowledge and Politics and Law in Modern Society: Toward a Criticism of Social Theory. In first of these writings the author attacks classical liberalism. He believes that liberalism often contradicts itself and falsely categorizes the goals of individuals as being focused on independence from society. The second of these texts uses historical and global content in order to better understand modern social theory and the ties that keep society going.
