Description

The Centre for Ethics and Critical Thought (CRITIQUE) is a dynamic hub for ethical and critical analysis of urgent social challenges.

CRITIQUE draws together scholars from across schools and colleges at the University of Edinburgh in a dynamic hub for ethical and critical analysis of urgent social challenges such as climate change, economic exploitation, racial segregation, gender oppressio, and political violence.

Deeply committed to methodological pluralism, its members deploy a variety of methodological approaches to political and social theory, ranging from analytic philosophical methods to genealogy, from history of political thought to immanent critique, and from feminist and critical race theoretical methodologies to legal analysis.
