Here my aim is not only to show that individuals critique Maududi and his thought but equally to demonstrate how the work of critique is undertaken. How ideas, sentiments, mental conditions, types of knowledge, forms of authority, language capacity, motivations, the (un)sayable, notions about private and public, facial expression, hairstyle, conceptions of home, intellectual suppositions, political power, readings of past and future, tears, joy, and much else inform and are played out in the enterprise of critique.
