The end of progress: decolonizing the normative foundations of critical theory by Amy Allen

In The End of Progress: Decolonizing the Normative Foundations of Critical Theory, Amy Allen challenges the continued reliance on ideas of progress and development found in the work of those such as Jürgen Habermas, Axel Honneth and Rainer Forst, instead seeking to propose a decolonised critical theory. While the book is rigorously argued and compellingly written, Alex Sager questions whether it manages to escape the trappings of the Eurocentrism that it otherwise aims to contest.
