The author makes use of the philosophy of Kant and Marx to argue that the philosophical problem of modern politics was not posed first in the 20th century, but lies in the phenomenon of revolution. This theory is explored with reference to the French Revolution and American War of Independence. He attempts to inherit the legacy of Kant and Marx and traces their 19th and 20th century heirs who sought a synthesis which could salvage critical philosophy and politics. Dick Howard has written many books on political philosophy, including "The Birth of American Political Thought", "The Marxian Legacy" and "The Development of the Marxian Dialectic".
