Critique and Praxis is a serious book. It's hefty, and it's weighty. Critique and Praxis relied too much on its reader being up to date on current Critical Theory debate. I haven't been a part of that conversation so much of the book was over my head. In addition, the author spent a lot of time reassuring the reader that he wasn't trying to tell anyone what to do only what he felt he needed to do. This dragged on too much for me.

The author has expertise in this area, and the subject is a good one. How do we turn our critiques into practical purposes. However, it failed to drag me in. The introduction was still going strong at about 50 pages, and my patience had worn thin. I'm sure if I had been better read on the current state of Critical Theory, my opinion would be different. I didn't finish the book.
