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.

These essays, written in the 1930s and 1940s, represent a first selection in English from the major work of the founder of the famous Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt. Horkheimer's writings are essential to an understanding of the intellectual background of the New Left and the to much current social-philosophical thought, including the work of Herbert Marcuse. Apart from their historical significance and even from their scholarly eminence, these essays contain an immediate relevance only now becoming fully recognized.

Mit uerster gedanklicher Schrfe beleuchten die Autoren die Kehrseite technischen und sozialen Fortschritts: Aufklrung als Herrschaft der Vernunft, als Unterwerfung der Natur unter die...
