[MonsieurRondu]

LOL this is the first thing that came up when I typed in "pretentious" on youtube. No lie.

[reyty2]

@MonsieurRondu OMG!!! LOL

[PetertBill]

Thanks for this brief introduction to critical theory. It can be quite difficult to explain critical theory to people who only want a brief outline. This video does that quite well. Many thanks for posting.

[reyty2]

@PetertBill thanx 4 ur kind words. best wishes 2 u.

[reyty2]

@verwoestijning Thanx 4 ur info. Yeah, many years back, I have come across & played with the actual sentence generator, when I was at Berkeley. The computer can concoct sentences with thousands of possibilities, grammatically correct but, yeah, nonsense, pure & simple. I'll check out Dawkin's D. Chaplain. Thanx.

[Kenshiroit]

@iranyanprncess yes and keep in mind princess, that what white people did around the world, was NOT unique to whites, matter of fact all people in one way or another contribuited in different historical eras.

Second, tecnology all people contribuited, including white people.

[TheKnightsOfCamelot]

@iranyanprncess Hey I'm White and I'm not your oppressor. Beware of who is controlling the conscientization of the masses. We need every culture to resist a one world philosophy because in the end we will loose our autonomy and a right to be an individual in true expression. You have a great day.

[Zelathago]

A postmodern feminist is a walking, talking oxymoron, emphasis on the moron part. Newsflash sweetie, the Enligthement is what gave us freedome, if you think it's too imperialist for you, you can always go to sub-Saharan Africa and get your clit cut off, or perhaps Yemen, where they marry their daughters off as 12.

Idiots.

[hotstixx]

thanks for posting.beautiful music is a welcome break from the non stop clatter that is common currencey on you tube and elsewhere.

[reyty2]

@TheKnightsOfCamelot Thanx 4 ur comments. With whom do u disagree? Each author has a different idea. Best wishes.

[aaronm222]

This says that Horkheimer was founder of Frankfurt School but didn't he take over from Felix Weil in 1930?

[reyty2]

@aaronm222 Thanx 4 d info. We got my data from Horkheimer's translated books as edited by English-German speakers. Hope viewers here will note your comment. Thanx.

[11Agamemnon235]

This is the wrong song title... Sorry, but this is one of the Brandenburg concertos--not by Yves Montand--but by Bach!!!!!!

[reyty2]

@11Agamemnon235 It *was* the correct title. YouTube forced me to change the original song for copyright reason. Hence, the change. Best wishes.

[BrianArtese]

Very useful! If anybody's interested, I've just finished an "Introduction to Poststructuralism" video. Search BrianArtese.

[reyty2]

@BrianArtese Hey, Brian. Thanx. I'll most eagerly "check out" your vid on poststructuralism right after sending this message 2 u. Best wishes to you.

[BrianArtese]

@reyty2 Thanks -- it has almost zero citations, but I hope it's worth a look...

[reyty2]

@BrianArtese Very informative indeed. Don't worry. Each video has different format, style, content.

[featheon]

I look for YouTube videos so I don't have to read. Why don't these uploaders get that?

[shazam20007]

critical theory - chattering twaddle favoured by well to bourgeoisie and their clones

the critical theory disaster that was the USSR now flown to the West will do the same her and has already 50% trashed the nation building institutions of the West

now queers and feminit wimyn rule whilst real men are trashed in the Pinko Family Court sustem staffed by queers and misandrist feminit wimyn

[jtravis282]

Love your critique Shazam. So true.

[deaddoc]

@shazam20007 I tend to agree. These men were playing with extremes of social theory and prodded real people to experiment with it. The results are debatable, but I don't think that utopia is or will be the result of either Critical Theory, or especially Postmodernism, and ESPECIALLY the feminist version we are all now oppressed and misdirected by. The insistence of Multiculturalism is only serving to destroy the entity, which is what the Frankfurt school radicals wanted, for the hell of it.

[almanacofsleep]

@deaddoc lol at your comment

[deaddoc]

@almanacofsleep I am happy to be of some value to you. My point was that I think multiculturalism and Diversity are the results of the practice of Critical Theory, but that multicultural societies eventually destroy diversity. Also, when Critical Theory seemed to help in bringing down Germany's fragile democracy, they had to flee to NYC and then mindlessly went on tearing at America, because of habit. The Beatniks that seized upon it did so, "for the hell of it." Not enough room...

[almanacofsleep]

@shazam20007 Critical theory was against the USSR, Frankfurt School differed considerably from the ideology of the Soviet Union or the Peoples Republic of China. 

[MakeMineAMoose]

aww love that wee song!!:L

[reyty2]

Glad u liked d choice of music: Bella Ciao (Italian) & Si Me Quieres Escribir (Spanish)--both song were from the period of resistance against fascism in Europe!

[decorao]

So the critical theorist only starts with an assumption inasmuch as he or she starts with the idea that traditional (for lack of a better word) theories have failed us and that postmodern theory seems like a potentially useful tool for improvement. I completely agree with you that falsifiability is utterly important, and I think my definition of critical theory produces ideas that are very falsifiable. Marcuse or Adorno do not seem to fit within this definition of critical theory, though.

[reyty2]

Thanks for your comments.

[decorao]

I wouldnt say that critical theory starts with an assumption of equality; I believe it starts with a mission of equality. The central assumption of the critical theorist is that complete social equality is a worthwhile goal. This is less like an assumption and more like a hypothesis based on empirical evidence. Simply put, centuries and centuries of history suggest that discourses that claim to be rooted in objectivity have failed to improve peoples condition.

[decorao]

Well the comments are fucked up or something so I can only see your one comment. Fortunately though I was able to read your others before they disappeared.
