Nancy Fraser i kritikkens landskap

Abstract

In part I of the article I introduce six different notions of social critique. In part II I connect positions in feminist theory to these notions of critique. Part III is a discussion of Nancy Fraser’s notion of critique. I argue that Fraser lately has defended feminist critique as a social critique in need of moralphilosphical justification, whereas she previously argued for ‘social criticism without philosphy’. In the latter part of the article I elaborate a few implications of Fraser’s shift.
