The contributors draw on diverse traditions and movements, including feminism, critical theory, Marxism, deconstruction, democratic socialism, theories of race and ethnicity, deep ecology, and politicized spirituality. Author note: Roger S. Gottlieb is Professor of Philosophy at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He has published five other books, including "History and Subjectivity: The Transformation of Marxist Theory (Temple)".
