Hello!
My name is Nightmare John, but you can just call me John. I sleep badly because I have Nightmare Disorder! So I stay up late, I write a lot, and I try to stay comfy. I’d like you to join me!

I read a lot, and I especially read philosophy. What are you reading, Anon? If you don’t want to talk about heavy stuff and simply just want to hang out, then get in here and relax.

Today's philosophy topic: Critical theory
Critical theory (or "social critical theory") is a school of thought that stresses the reflective assessment and critique of society and culture by applying knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities. As a term, critical theory has two meanings with different origins and histories: the first originated in sociology and the second originated in literary criticism, whereby it is used and applied as an umbrella term that can describe a theory founded upon critique; thus, the theorist Max Horkheimer described a theory as critical insofar as it seeks "to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them"
