In sociology and political philosophy, the term [[Critical Theory]] describes the Western [[Cultural Marxism|Marxist philosophy]] of the Frankfurt School, which was developed in Germany in the 1930s. This use of the term requires proper noun capitalization, whereas "a critical theory" or "a critical social theory" may have similar elements of thought, but not stress its intellectual lineage specifically to the Frankfurt School. Frankfurt School critical theorists drew on the critical methods of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud.

[[Critical Theory]] is the act of criticizing or the intentional gathering of public attacking that is directed towards any social institution or social issue, without giving any solution or offering any other alternative in its place. This can be used as a mainstream media [[Propaganda]] tactic in order to sway public opinion on any social issue by intentionally demonizing the group or institution, with or without sufficient evidence of the accusations made. | |||
