While academic circles argue that critique has outlived its usefulness, this thought-provoking book reignites the fundamental inquiry into the essence of critique. Roy Ben-Shai delves into critique as an orientation of critical thinking, exploring its frameworks, assumptions, boundaries, and potential risks. Spanning a vast expanse of ideas, images, and texts from various disciplines, including theology, psychology, etymology, and philosophy, the book traverses the history of philosophy, from Plato and Saint Augustine to Kant and Hegel, Marx and Heidegger, and contemporary critical theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout this intellectual odyssey, Ben-Shai invites the reader to critically examine their own mindset, challenge prevailing narratives, and reexamine the philosophical canon. He reveals surprising affinities between seemingly disparate traditions, such as Catholicism and Marxism, highlighting the interconnectedness of thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCritique of Critique ultimately prepares the ground for exploring alternative orientations of critical thinking, offering new ways of understanding and engaging with the world. By challenging the boundaries of traditional critique and embracing a broader perspective, this book encourages readers to reimagine the possibilities for critical inquiry and social transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 402g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 229 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781503633827\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roy Ben-Shai","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44275737002234,"sku":"9781503633827","price":20.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1686307005642_book.jpg?v=1686475762","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/critique-of-critique-9781503633827","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
