Critical Theory that was built by Jurgen Habermas strove to find a
methodology to uncover the other way around, namely relatedness between knowledge
and human interests as social creatures. Therefore, critical theory of Jurgen Habermas
was often called Critical Theory of Ideology; since there was an inevitable correlation
between knowledge and social praxis, between knowledge, technology and issues of
modern societies such as alienation, technological domination, reification, social
repression, dehumanization, depersonalization and various agonies and depression of
human beings due to intervention and penetration of knowledge and technology. Such
was the case that ideological critics intended to reveal negative intentions disguised
by ideology derived from distorted communication models systematically that led to social
injustice and suppression.
