By eliminating theory from the academy, the valiant warriors of antitheory believe that they are saving it from appreciative peril. This Is Not the End of Theory presents a host of arguments against this claim. It demonstrates that the elimination of theory from the academy has quite the opposite effect. Namely, it foreshadows the death of the academy.
This is not the end of theory because our ability to think, interpret, and judge critically depends on it-and a world without theory is one where critical thinking, interpretation, and judgment will soon vanish in the darkness. This Is Not the End of Theory is a warning to all who value critical theory, humanities, and pedagogy to be wary of new directions in antitheory regardless of their source-and to do everything they can to avoid them taking root.
