Abstract

This chapter explores the connection between critique, conflict, and crisis. This move is indicative of a slight methodological shift within contemporary Critical Theory, where the focus on crises supplements the focus on social struggles. The extent to which Critical Theory should be interested in the struggles and desires of the age can then be qualified as follows: it is part of those struggles of an age which are capable of thematizing and addressing its inherent crises in an emancipatory way. In other words, through its criticism and analysis, Critical Theory contributes to addressing these crises (which clearly also give rise to regressive and non-emancipatory responses) in an emancipatory way.

Nächstes Kapitel What’s Critical About a Critical Theory of Justice?

For such a description of the task of Critical Theory, see “Nancy Fraser in Dialogue with Rahel Jaeggi” (Polity Press, forthcoming).

On such a crisis-oriented understanding of immanent critique, see also my book Criticizing Forms of Life, ch. 6 (Harvard University Press, forthcoming).

For a detailed argumentation of this points, see Jaeggi (2013).
