Q: Can a critique of a social order be the creative foundation of the replacement of that order?
A: I doubt that it can be the foundation of a replacement or a paradigmatic shift in an order. A critique, or a certain understanding, of a situation is necessarily embedded within the event that a critique is evaluating, a critique seems like it would be fundamentally involved with the event thus limiting its purview to engaging with what is the nature of the event.
A critique may open up the space for a fundamental departure from that order, but this is a step to creativity not towards a unified theory of anything.
I realize I'm being quite vague here with almost all of the terms used; imagine them in a context such as feminism. Feminism has succeed in rallying troops to the cause but has failed to do away with the fundamental antagonisms that created feminist desire in the first place.
