| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Critical theory is an examination and critique of society and culture, drawing from knowledge across the social sciences and humanities. Critical theory, in the sociological context, refers to a style of Marxist theory with a tendency to engage with non-Marxist influence. This tendency has been referred to pejoratively by stricter Marxists as 'revisionism'. Modern critical theory arose from a trajectory extending from the nonpositivist sociology of Max Weber and Georg Simmel, the neo-Marxist theory of Georg Luk cs and Antonio Gramsci, toward the milieu associated with Frankfurt Institute of Social Research. This book studies critical theory including reconstructivism, critical psychology, critical language awareness, and critical criminology.
