The Laboratory for Social Critique of the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory gathers researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds and theoretical orientations who explore the phenomenon of social critique and practice it. Relying on the traditions of engaged thought from antiquity to the present day, members of the Laboratory aim to map out competing models of social critique and examine their soundness and scope, their significance and effectiveness. In their investigations, the Lab’s researchers examine the global and regional theoretical exemplars of social critique which define the current public spaces, and aim to formulate advanced modalities of critique in terms of both theoretical contents and extra-theoretical consequences.
