ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to radicalise critique in contemporary neoliberal society. What gives rise to post-political neoliberalism is also what gives rise to alternative social and political imaginaries for radical politics. The possibility of radical politics exists within neoliberalism. The chapter attempts to retain the belief in two interrelated ideas: critique and spirituality. It argues that critique and spirituality are commonly associated, aiming at social and self-transformation. The chapter explores the development and meaning of critique through the concept of parrhesia. It argues that critique as parrhesia is always in relation to spirituality. The chapter also explores the consequences of adopting this critical approach for spirituality in the constitution of subjectivity. However, in order to explore this relationship, one must first understand what critique means in neoliberal times. The concept of kairos is opposed to a linear, determinist notion of time; it cannot be reduced to actual social space and chronological time.
