Is Critical Theory Infiltrating The Conservative Movement? | Carl R. Trueman

Defining Critical Theory and Traditional Theory

Critical theory, as opposed to traditional theory, aims to revolutionize society rather than just describe it. For instance, critical theorists believe truth is about moving history in a revolutionary direction, even if it means propagating lies to challenge the status quo, as seen in the context of the 1619 project. This theory seeks to destabilize existing narratives and structures to pave the way for radical change.
