Abstract

The article aims at comparing the concept of progress with that of emancipation within the domain of Critical Theory. It argues that emancipation should be preferred to progress due to its negative, open and undetermined traits. Together with radical hope, micrology as attention to unheard voices and stories that ask to be narrated can make emancipation possible.
