نبذة مختصرة : Denne artikel belyser nogle af de spørgsmål og udfordringer, studerende og undervisere i dag konfronterer i arbejdet med kritisk tænkning og tilegnelsen af social-og humanvidenskabens kritiske traditioner. Artiklen forsøger dernæst at forklare kritikkens fortsatte relevans og mangeartede funktioner, men også nogle af dens mange interne stridspunkter, ikke mindst mellem på den ene side det, vi kan kalde social kritik, inspireret af bl.a. Marx og på den anden side kultur-refleksiv kritik, inspireret af bl.a. Foucault. Afslutningsvis argumenterer artiklen for, at den kritiske tradition, uanset teoretisk aftapning, i dag konfronterer nogle særlige udfordringer, der inviterer til, at vi øver os i at søge gensidig inspiration i vores teoretiske forskelle, frem for blot at se afstand og uforenelighed. ; This article discusses some of the questions and debates that both students and teachers currently face when grappling with critical thinking and its traditions within the social sciences and humanities. Explaining its diverse functions and necessities, the article argues for the continued relevance of critique, but it also explores some of the ‘genre’s’ internal points of contention, not least between what we might call the social critique inspired by Marx and others, and the artistic critique, inspired by Foucault. The article concludes by arguing that critique, regardless of its theoretical packaging, confronts particular challenges today that, instead of retreating into distance and incompatibility, invite us to seek mutual inspiration in theoretical and social differences.
