Abstract
Critique has run out of steam – this diagnosis by Bruno Latour is crucial for the “Manifesto for post-critical education” as well as for the on_education issue “The Fatique of Critique?”. With this essay, we contradict Latour's diagnosis. Latour’s polemic against critique is based firstly on a questionable diagnosis of our time and secondly on a general and programmatic critique of sociology. Against that, we bring out two main points. The first insight highlights that change is initially dependent on variations that can only arise from a negation of the existing. The second insight comes from the sociology of critique, which paradoxically sees success in the failure of critique.
