Produktbeschreibung

In their Dialectic of Enlightenment, Horkheimer and Adorno set out to "e;explain why humanity, instead of entering a truly human state, is sinking into a new kind of barbarism."e; Philosophy teacher Tom Donovan (PhD UCRiverside) offers a fresh reading of that classic text showing that it is first and foremost a critique of the metaphysical urge. Describing our world of "e;stupid consumption, mindless entertainment, and perverted games and relationships"e; he notes, "e;these sorts of games have no end game, as fantasy spectators never really win, and yet they don't see it because they are too busy watching the other lose. This is the secret of class society. As long as there is someone below you, then lack of reconciliation doesn't hurt so badly."e;
