In this paper, I intend to systematically reconstruct the main lines of Hartmut Rosa?s phenomenological approach to Critical Theory. In order to do so, I will proceed in three steps. First (1), as a preliminary, I will briefly present Axel Honneth?s conception of Critical Theory of Society. Second (2), I will sketch out Rosa?s account of the fundamental features of a contemporary version of Critical Theory. Finally (3), I will outline his novel ?sociology of the relationship to the world?, especially focusing on the phenomenological opposition between ?resonance? and ?alienation?.
