Outline of critical theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of basic critical theory topics)
In the humanities and social sciences, critical theory has two quite different meanings with different origins and histories, one originating in social theory and the other in literary criticism. The former is theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only to understanding or explaining it. The latter is theory used in the critical analysis and understanding of literature and is discussed in greater detail under literary theory.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to critical theory:
