- Abstract:
This article explores the meaning of critical theory as an alternative paradigm through the relevant works of Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas. It is meant as a guide through the complex issues which emerge from the interaction of epistemiology and politics, especially as these issues cease to be mere abstract exercises but move to the center of intellectuals' lives. Critical theory, with its roots in the dialectical tradition, is a substantive critique of society and a critique of the theory of knowledge by which that society is known.
