Critical Theory and Psychoanalysis

Critical Theory is an approach that examines society, power, and culture to identify and challenge inequalities and injustices, aiming to foster social change. Psychoanalysis, developed by Freud, explores how unconscious thoughts, feelings, and childhood experiences influence our behaviors, emotions, and perceptions. Both investigate the underlying factors shaping human experience: Critical Theory focuses on societal structures, while Psychoanalysis centers on individual psyche; together, they deepen our understanding of human nature and social dynamics.
