Kritik woran?

Abstract

The article identifies the relation between the criticism of capitalism and modernity in the work of Hartmut Rosa. It details his major concepts acceleration, alienation and resonance to show how the critique changes its topic within the theory. Hartmut Rosa claims a radical criticism of capitalism in the tradition of Critical Theory. Concurrently his work bases on Charles Taylors Communitarianism. Rosa dissolves the subsequent ambivalence by dropping the criticism of capitalism.
