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
humanity's modern fall to the very rationality that was to be its
liberation, the authors exposed the domination and violence that
underpin the Enlightenment project.
