Economic & Political WeeklySummary: It is possible to distinguish between two modes of social criticism: the one exemplified in our intellectual and political–ideological statements about society (foundational criticism) and the other in our everyday goings about the world (ordinary criticism). Foundational criticism has an explanatory depth and systemic character that ordinary criticism lacks. However, on second glance, ordinary criticism seems to track the nature of our moral lives better and more wholesomely. This article tries to map the implications of pursuing these two modes of social criticism, even if the end results were to turn out to be similar.- Reproduced
