critical theory

FRANKFURT SCHOOL: The question "Why philosophy?" eventually became the question "Why Adorno?". The intellectual work of Theodor W. Adorno's heirs has been highly productive and diverse. In Frankfurt, ideas critical of authority were promoted, which were largely legitimized by the fact that the shadow of National Socialism rested over the country.

CONSPIRACY THEORY: When states, politicians and companies hide the facts and tell half-truths, conspiracy theories become the attempt of the powerless to understand the reality that conditions their lives – and if possible change it. Conspiracy as both a revolutionary and authoritarian tool, pandemics such as AIDS and covid19, post-truth mythologies, the US's military build-up, gold rush and deindustrialisation, al-Qaeda and UFOs are touched upon here.
