Critique is a method of disciplined, systematic analysis of a written or oral discourse. Although critique is commonly understood as fault finding and negative judgment, it can also involve merit recognition, and in the philosophical tradition it also means a methodical practice of doubt. The contemporary sense of critique has been largely influenced by the Enlightenment critique of prejudice and authority, which championed the emancipation and autonomy from religious and political authorities.
The term 'critique' derives, via French, from Ancient Greek κριτική (kritikē), meaning "the faculty of judgment", that is, discerning the value of persons or things.
Philosophy is the application of critical thought, and is the disciplined practice of processing the theory/praxis problem. In philosophical contexts, such as law or academics, critique is most influenced by Kant's use of the term to mean a reflective examination of the validity and limits of a human capacity or of a set of philosophical claims. This has been extended in modern philosophy to mean a systematic inquiry into the conditions and consequences of a concept, a theory, a discipline, or an approach and/or attempt to understand the limitations and validity of that. A critical perspective, in this sense, is the opposite of a dogmatic one. Kant wrote:
Critique: A Worldwide Student Journal of Politics is an online, peer-reviewed academic journal on political science published by Illinois State University's Department of Politics and Government.

Middle East Critique is a peer reviewed Middle Eastern studies journal published by Taylor & Francis for the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Lund University.
The mission of Middle East Critique is to publish critical analyses of the history and contemporary political, social, economic, and cultural aspects of Middle Eastern countries. Articles in the journal thus actively engage theoretical and empirical studies and by so doing promote a critical understanding of the complex nature of ideas, values, political and social configurations, and the material realities in Middle Eastern societies. These articles also provide a unique forum for the inter-disciplinary examination of diverse issues based on solid research and critical readings of developments in the Middle East.
Aankhon Se Bachaakar, Lo Rakho Chhupaakar
Pyaar Ko Kabhi Kisi Ki Najar Na Lage
Chaand Ko Churaakar, Maathe Pe Sajaakar
Haule Chalna Raat Ko Khabar Na Lage
Sitaare Dhund Laaye Hai, Andheron Pe Sajaaye Hai
Jaise Diwaali Ki Ho Raat Jindagi..
(Bade Se Shehar Mein Chhote Chhote Ghar Mein
Itani Yeh Khushiya Bolo Rakh De Kahaan
Pyaar Muskuraahat Sapano Ki Aahat, Jo Bhi Maanga Mil Gaya) 2
Aajkal Ik Nanhe Mehmaan Se Baatein Karu Khwaabon Mein
Dono Kahaaniya Banaate, Jhuti Sachchi Hai Bataate
Maine Kal Usase Kahaan Yaar Abb Aa Bhi Jaao Ghar Kabhi
Bheegne Se Na Tum Darna, Khushiyon Ki Hai Barsaatein
Sitaare Dhund Laaye Hai, Andheron Pe Sajaaye Hai
Jaise Diwaali Ki Ho Raat Jindagi..
Na Na Na Naare Na Na Na Na Na Naare......, Jo Bhi Maanga Mil Gaya
Bade Se Shehar Mein Chhote Chhote Ghar Mein
Itani Yeh Khushiya Bolo Rakh De Kahaan
Pyaar Muskuraahat Sapano Ki Aahat, Jo Bhi Maanga Mil Gaya
Aankhon Se Bachaakar, Lo Rakho Chhupaakar
Pyaar Ko Kabhi Kisi Ki Najar Na Lage
Chaand Ko Churaakar, Maathe Pe Sajaakar
Haule Chalna Raat Ko Khabar Na Lage
Sitaare Dhund Laaye Hai, Andheron Pe Sajaaye Hai
Jaise Diwaali Ki Ho Raat Jindagi..
