Remembering Aronowitz

Abstract

Stanley Aronowitz was the archetypical organic intellectual, one who maintained critical theory in its most substantive and adaptive form. Never one to succumb to defeatism or intellectual retreat, he maintained the grand narrative of emancipatory politics and education. His immense range of inquiry is best articulated in four distinct yet overlapping periods that exemplify the theoretical foresight and relevance for future radical speculation and praxis.
