The application of Critical Theory to the continental tradition in philosophy—examining its assumptions, its methods, its relationship to power, and its potential for liberation. Critical Theory of Continental Philosophy asks: How has continental philosophy engaged with history, politics, and power? How has it been shaped by its European context? What are its blind spots? How might it be transformed by dialogue with other traditions? It doesn't celebrate uncritically but insists that continental philosophy's strengths—its attention to history, power, and embodiment—must be combined with self-critique and openness to other voices.
"Continental philosophy is just obscurantism, they say. Critical Theory of Continental Philosophy asks: obscurantist by whose standards? The tradition engages questions analytic philosophy ignores—power, history, embodiment. That doesn't make it wrong; it makes it different. Critical theory insists on asking: what can we learn from this tradition, and what are its own blind spots?"
