Theoreticity

Marxism is critical discourse retained as a sword against the status quo, against the old class. Turned outward only, it is a half compliance with the culture of critical discourse. But it strives to elude theoreticity and abstract formalism, and with this has won a third of the world.

Critical theory in trying to restore the public sphere must not renounce its theoreticity. The world is complex and must be theorized complexly. The postmodern aversion to theory is symptomatic of a stupid age.

In fact, in order to understand the origins of a philosophy or a philosophical tradition effectively, we have to face the following questions: What are the fundamental concepts or categories of that philosophical tradition? In which theoretical contexts are they asserted or presented? What is the underlying view of reality which leads to or is presupposed in the philosophical understanding or assertion? What is the guiding methodology or way of thinking for the philosophical idea or ideas? Finally, what kind of cultural experiences or ideals define or give rise to this way of thinking or this way of forming a view? These questions define our three senses of ‘origins’ in a reverse order, namely historicity, practicality and theoreticity.
