This paper presents three interconnected examinations of Asger S?rensen?s
arguments in Capitalism, Alienation and Critique, which thematize S?rensen?s
overarching understanding of the relationship between theory and practice:
his general methodological perspective on critical theory, its distinctive
epistemology and its anchoring in the empirical world. The paper authors
each try to push S?rensen on these crucial points by considering how
S?rensen?s variant of critical theory actually operates, scrutinizing in
more detail the particular relationship between the ?experience of
injustice?, which for S?rensen constitutes the empirical foothold for
critical theory, and the theoretical diagnosis of social reality which the
critical theorist should formulate against the backdrop of this experience.
