CRITIQUE

Gasche, Rodolphe. The Honor of Thinking: Critique, Theory, Philosophy. Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 2007. p.109

“Critique comes from the Greek krinein which means: “to sort”, “to sort out” and thus to “lift out that special sort.” This contrast against others arises from an elevation to a new order. The sense of the word “critique” is so little negative that it means the most positive, the positing of what must be established in advance in all positing as what is determinative and decisive. Therefore, critique is a separation and lifting out of the special, the uncommon and, at the same time, decisive, therefore, and only in consequence, is it also a rejection of the commonplace and unsuitable.
