FORERO PINEDA, Fernando. The question of criticism in Marxist theory. Folios [online]. 2011, n.34, pp.37-44. ISSN 0123-4870.

Abstract This article is written in the belief that a widespread view exists among social scientists that contemporary social theory needs a radical revision of the works of those writers who established the principal frames of reference of modern theory of society. In this respect, three names stand out above all others: Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim and Max Weber. The objective of this work is to examine and analyze Marx's concept of critique regarding the concepts of praxis, critique of the political economy, critique of ideology, and critique as political action in relation to the theoretical perspective of western Marxism and, especially, in relation to Habermas's idea of Marx's theory.

Palabras clave : Marx; western marxism; philosophy of praxis; critique.
