Abstract
Nancy Fraser is sensitive to the practical and theoretical issues that define the contemporary context for social theory. She consistently engages with a variety of theoretical perspectives so as to be inclusive in integrating divergent empirical phenomena and normative demands in her critical theory. She examines and draws upon Foucault, Lyotard, Honneth, Butler and Habermas in framing a normative social theory that is alert to the particularity and elusiveness of discursive orders of power and strategies of emancipation. She aims to synthesise contemporary social and political theories so as to develop an avowedly post-Marxist critical theory of society.
