Since Max Horkheimer’s seminal essays almost a century ago, the term “social philosophy” has been associated with expectations that go beyond the mere analysis of a philosophical topic and refers to a specific, critical approach to its object: contemporary society. In the collection of texts “What is social philosophy?”, recently published by Suhrkamp, Martin Saar explores the use, gestures, procedures and basic concepts of such socio-critical reflection. He draws the profile of a form of thinking that is still powerful today, motivated by a diagnosis of the times, and which ventures close to the factual struggles and realities of our political and social world.
