In Queer Social Philosophy , Randall Halle analyzes key texts in the tradition of German critical theory from the perspective of contemporary queer theory, exposing gender and sexuality restrictions that undermine those texts' claims of universal truth. Addressing such figures as Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Adorno, and Habermas, Halle offers a unique contribution to contemporary debates about sexuality, civil society, and politics.

Randall Halle is an associate professor in the German section of the Modern Languages and Cultures Program at the University of Rochester. He is coeditor of Light Motives: German Popular Film in Perspective and a special issue of Camera Obscura, and has published numerous essays on queer theory and German social philosophy.
