Kritik als Praxis

Abstract Critique as Practice. A Questioning The crisis-ridden times in which we live force us to rethink the role of critique. If we start from the assumption that maturity requires a critical mind, how can this be learned? And what role does education play in this? With a cursory recourse to critical theories by Horkheimer, Benjamin, Arendt and Foucault, the connection between critique and thinking is developed and critique as practice is described as a thinking exercise that must be learned and taught.
