Dialectic of Enlightenment

Dialectic of Enlightenment pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Adorno and Horkheimer see the self-destruction of Western reason as grounded in a historical and fateful dialectic between the domination of external nature and society. They trace enlightenment, which split these spheres apart, back to its mythical roots. Enlightenment and myth, therefore, are not irreconcilable opposites, but dialectically mediated qualities of both real and intellectual life. "Myth is already enlightenment, and enlightenment reverts to mythology." This paradox is the fundamental thesis of the book.

"Dialectic of Enlightenment" is undoubtedly the most influential publication of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. Written during the Second World War and circulated privately, it appeared in a printed edition in Amsterdam in 1947. "What we had set out to do," the authors write in the Preface, "was nothing less than to explain why humanity, instead of entering a truly human state, is sinking into a new kind of barbarism." Yet the work goes far beyond a mere critique of contemporary events. Historically remote developments, indeed, the birth of Western history and of subjectivity itself out of the struggle against natural forces, as represented in myths, are connected in a wide arch to the most threatening experiences of the present. The book consists in five chapters, at first glance unconnected, together with a number of shorter notes. The various analyses concern such phenomena as the detachment of science from practical life, formalized morality, the manipulative nature of entertainment culture, and a paranoid behavioral structure, expressed in aggressive anti-Semitism, that marks the limits of enlightenment. The authors perceive a common element in these phenomena, the tendency toward self-destruction of the guiding criteria inherent in enlightenment thought from the beginning. Using historical analyses to elucidate the present, they show, against the background of a prehistory of subjectivity, why the National Socialist terror was not an aberration of modern history but was rooted deeply in the fundamental characteristics of Western civilization. Adorno and Horkheimer see the self-destruction of Western reason as grounded in a historical and fateful dialectic between the domination of external nature and society. They trace enlightenment, which split these spheres apart, back to its mythical roots. Enlightenment and myth, therefore, are not irreconcilable opposites, but dialectically mediated qualities of both real and intellectual life. "Myth is already enlightenment, and enlightenment reverts to mythology." This paradox is the fundamental thesis of the book. This new translation, based on the text in the complete edition of the works of Max Horkheimer, contains textual variants, commentary upon them, and an editorial discussion of the position of this work in the development of Critical Theory.

有人说这本书写得神神叨叨,但一定程度上这不是作者的错而是译者的错。这本书的翻译可以说错谬非常多,很多地方读中译全不可解,读英译才能明白。 译者自称是按照英文译的,又经过德文的校对,但有些地方中译与英译的意思竟然完全相反,而根据上下文只有按照英译的意思才能顺畅...

作为最早研究文化产业的著作,感受到作者的预见性和批判的思想。作者担忧的是文化产业的发展中艺术品将更多的体现出经济资本导向的特点,大众的价值取向也将更多的受到市场规律的影响。作者认为交换价值会引起艺术及内在价值的损害,造成商品贸易之外的道德、情感、传统价值的...

其实这些观点放在现在看来也就那样,但是那时候的人在那个背景下能想到这么些东西的……都是日后折磨莘莘学子的大牛人!文化产业研究必读。

忽然就觉得多少可以解释为什么天朝大众如此热爱看无脑综艺和国产剧,大概是因为这些精心推敲过套路、拿捏着人的笑点及其频率的节目真的可以让被严重剥削的劳动人民在工作与工作的间隙里迅速回血且逐步放弃思考的自觉——一切的目的只是为了成为更适应生产的螺丝钉。或许从来没有哪个社会形态会如此无孔不入而悄无声息地渗透统治阶级的意识形态,成功化矛盾于无形。这大概也解释了为什么无产阶级并没有成为历史的执行者,共产主义也终究无法到来。
