Critical Theory 1pdf
Critical Theory originated in Germany in the 1930s as a response to the rise of Fascism and the failure of Marxism to cause social revolution. It seeks to explain how our conceptions of reality are socially constructed and shaped by ideological forces of power and hegemony, rather than existing independently. Critical Theory challenges standard notions of reality and is reflexive in demonstrating how our perceptions are influenced by human powers that aim to control our understanding.
