What is your approach to teaching Critical Theory and CSS, and how best to combine philosophy, history and debates/issues before getting to the examples in an introductory class?

Marko Kovačević @markodkovacevic.bsky.social · 21/11/2024
Although the Frankfurt School-brand of critical theory may be in crisis given the ontological questions it still inspires intellectually. Critique remains important and live practice, and that is where the Welsh School comes in for css that sees emancipation as security.
