Description

Explore a deep examination of Enlightenment theory in this scholarly work by De Gruyter. The text focuses on the radical questioning found in Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno's Dialektik der Aufklarung. It investigates the central thesis that the Enlightenment, rather than promoting emancipation and humanity, resulted in disastrous consequences. This book provides a fundamental critique of rationality through a detailed analysis of key philosophical figures. It examines the works of Bacon, Spinoza, Kant, and de Sade to understand their roles as protagonists of the Enlightenment. By placing these thinkers within a philosophy-historical perspective, the text explores how Enlightenment is a phenomenon linked to Western culture from its origins. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history of Western thought and the critical analysis of modern rationality.
