Dialectic of Enlightenment by Theodor Adorno (English) Paperback Book

Description: Dialectic of Enlightenment by Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, John Cumming A classic of twentieth-century thought, charting how reason regressed back into myth and superstition FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer are the leading figures of the Frankfurt School and this book is their magnum opus. Dialectic of Enlightenment is one of the most celebrated works of modern social philosophy that continues to impress in its wide-ranging ambition.Writing just after the Second World War and reflecting on the bureaucracy and myths of National Socialism and the inanity of the dawn of consumerism, Adorno and Horkheimer addressed themselves to a question which went to the very heart of the modern age: why mankind, instead of entering into a truly human condition, is sinking into a new kind of barbarism. Modernity, far from redeeming the promises and hopes of the Enlightenment, had resulted in a stultification of mankind and administered society, characterised by simulation and candy-floss entertainment.Tracing humanitys modern fall to the very rationality that was to be its liberation, the authors exposed the domination and violence that underpin the Enlightenment project. Notes A classic of 20th century thought in a fresh new design. Author Biography Theodor Adorno was director of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt. His works include Aesthetic Theory and Negative Dialectics.Max Horkheimer (1895-1973) was a philosopher and sociologist of the Frankfurt School. His books include A Critique of Instrumental Reason.
