ABSTRACT
In the world in which we live there is neither a lack of things deserving to be criticized nor any lack of critical perspectives on offer: why then bother with critical theory, the saga of its “generations”, the “ground of criticism”, the distinctiveness of critical theory, the question of whether it is degenerating into “left Rawlsianism” 1 and, assuming for the sake of the argument that there is something bad about “left Rawlsianism”, the question of how critical theory could best be rescued from it?
