half-serious: is there ever a 'non-controversial' critic of anything?
- jstalin 11y agoI'm guessing most critics of Hitler are noncontroversial.
- ghaff 11y agoWhile true, in general use, calling someone a critic of XYZ tends to imply that there is a (mainstream) constituency that is not critical of XYZ.
- hguant 11y agoNot to be pendant in, but it depends on what you mean by critic. Max Weber and Erich Fromm were critics of Marx and Freud who agreed with much of what they had to say. Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" is...well it's many things but it advocates rationality and a marriage of pure reason with experience. Ann Coulter is a critic of the Obama administration and liberalism in general.
