An examination of Franz Neumann's social and political theory in the context of his career as a learner and teacher.
A labor lawyer and publicist of weight in the Weimar Republic, Franz Neumann devoted his 21-year exile, after 1933, to understanding the failure of arrangements supposed to be in the line of social progress. He sought to delineate a new conception of democracy as a vehicle of social change. "Learning from Franz Neumann" examines Neumann's social and political theory in the context of his career as a practitioner, learner, and teacher.
