[FRA:] critical theory according to Stanford & Son

[Ralph Dumain]

I find the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on critical theory 
by James Bohman
a major disappointment, and really unpardonable for an encyclopedia article:

  http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/critical-theory/

It's not about critical theory or the Frankfurt School really; it's an 
homage to Habermas.  Bohman dispenses with Horkheimer and Adorno halfway 
through section 1.  The rest of the article is on Habermasian themes and 
even more tedious in its prose style.  It looks like the one remaining 
social role for liberals is to bore us to death.
