Radical sociology has been developing since 1945 in South Korea. Especially the Critical theory has reached its peak in 1996 when Professor Hebermas visited South Korea. Comparing the South Korean Critical Theory with the Japanese one, the ways in which both have developed are different. First, in South Korea the Critical theory has been accepted as a tool to resist the despotism. But in Japan it has been a branch to proceed the democratization in postwar era. Second, South Korean Critical Theory has been in competition not only with the conservative theory but also with another radical theories. On the contrary Japanese one has inherited the academic tradition in a relatively calm situation. Third, the Critical theory has developed since 1980 in the intellectual circumstance in which orthodox Marxism has been regaining the influencial power in South Korea. but it has relatively being degraded in the same era in the reverse direction for marxism in Japan. As a result we can admit the different pathes in which two kind of Critical Theory has followed. This could be a material of new horizon for the Asian Critical Theory.
