Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer wrote the central text of
"critical theory", Dialectic of Enlightenment, a measured critique
of the Enlightenment reason that, they argued, had resulted in
fascism and totalitarianism. Towards a New Manifesto shows the two
philosophers in a uniquely spirited and free-flowing exchange of
ideas. This book is a record of their discussions over three weeks
in the spring of 1956, recorded with a view to the production of a
contemporary version of The Communist Manifesto. A philosophical
jam-session in which the two thinkers improvise freely, often
wildly, on central themes of their work-theory and practice, labor
and leisure, domination and freedom-in a political register found
nowhere else in their writing. Amid a careening flux of arguments,
aphorisms and asides, in which the trenchant alternates with the
reckless, the playful with the ingenuous, positions are swapped and
contradictions unheeded, without any compulsion for consistency. A
thrilling example of philosophy in action and a compelling map of a
possible passage to a new world. This new edition contains two
texts on needs by Adorno and Horkheimer that have been translated
for the first time or have been difficult to access.
