Can critical theory diagnose ideological delusion and false
consciousness from above, or does it have to follow the practices
of critique ordinary agents engage in? This book argues that we
have to move beyond this dichotomy, which has led to a theoretical
impasse. Whilst ordinary agents engage in complex forms of everyday
critique, it must remain the task of critical theory to provide
analysis and critique of social conditions that obstruct the
development of reflexive capacities and of their realization in
corresponding practices of critique. Only an approach that is at
the same time non-paternalistic, pragmatist, and dialogical as well
as critical will be able to realize the emancipatory potential of
the Frankfurt School tradition of critical theory in radically
changing social circumstances.
