 Critical Pedagogy on the Web: The Frankfurt School   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Critical pedagogy, particularly the version popularized by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, has its roots in the theories of the "Frankfurt School," a term used to describe the neo-Marxian social theory characteristic of the Institut fur Sozialforschung (Institute for Social Research), which was founded on February 3, 1923 at the University of Frankfurt.
According to Herbert Marcuse, a major figure in the Frankfurt school, "No qualitative social change, no socialism, is possible without the emergence of a new rationality and sensibility in the individuals themselves: no radical social change without a radical change of the individual agents of change" (Counterrevolution and Revolt).
Another similarity between critical theory and critical pedagogy is the emphasis placed on critique of "value free claims," which are seen as generally serving to support and maintain the status quo.
