Critical theory draws on Marxism, psychoanalysis, postmodern and poststructuralist theorists. Marxism and psychoanalysis are rooted in the Enlightenment project, while postmodernism and poststructuralism are more indebted to Nietzsche, whose philosophy is rooted in anti-Enlightenment ideas and ideals.

“Burston’s book is an outstanding work of scholarship in which he favourably reviews Wilhelm Reich and Erich Fromm’s contention that ‘sadomasochism and authoritarianism are not confined to the extreme Right … . Burston endorses the mode of rational authority needed by democratic entities, which is the one that promotes competence and mutual respect.” (Ann Casement, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Vol. 66 (1), 2021)
