"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.

一本可读性很强的英译本。虽然在零星的看得懂与大量的看不懂间游荡徘徊,但是不得不说这本书带给我的震撼是很大的,特别是第一章和最后一章,以及对文化工业的分析,契合了很多我的既有想法。如果我对西方文学了解得再多些,知道第二三章都在说什么,估计从这本书中的收获会更大。

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... 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。 (展开)
