Dialectic of Enlightenment

Dialectic of Enlightenment is a groundbreaking philosophical work by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer that critiques modern society, culture, and reason. Written during World War II, the book explores how the Enlightenments pursuit of reason and progress paradoxically led to domination, oppression, and the rise of totalitarianism. It argues that rationality, instead of liberating humanity, has been instrumentalized to serve power and control, particularly through mass culture and capitalism. The authors examine topics such as the culture industry, myth and reason, and the manipulation of human consciousness. Their analysis remains influential in critical theory, exposing the dark side of modernity and the ways ideology shapes perception. Complex yet profound, this book challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between reason, freedom, and social structures. It is essential reading for those interested in philosophy, sociology, and political thought.
