The chat bot flashes its elipsis at the bottom of the screen. What is it thinking, what does it want from you, what do you want from it? Beneath those pixels lies a sea of mined data and lightning storms of electricity heating up servers in barren deserts. What will it find for you in the past labor of the generations? According to a stunning new article in Rolling Stone, it will find whatever the fuck makes you feel like a god—incuding all the NewAge pablum it has scarfed down—because oops, ChatGPT released a model that is just too sycophantic.

Max Horkheimer dachte in den 1930er- und 40er-Jahren intensiv über den Kapitalismus nach, aus dem sich der Faschismus entwickeln konnte. In seinem kurzen Text „Die Rackets und der Geist“, der eigentlich der Aufschlag für ein größeres Forschungsprogramm werden sollte, setzt er sich mit Banden- bzw. Clan-Strukturen auseinander, die so dominant werden können, dass sie alles beherrschen und letztlich sowohl den marktwirtschaftlichen Liberalismus wie auch das Recht außer Kraft setzen. Wenn wir heute die Herrschaftsstrukturen in Russland, Ungarn oder zunehmend auch in den USA betrachten, scheint Horkheimers Charakterisierung der Racket-Herrschaft wieder zuzutreffen. Allerdings birgt dieser Begriff auch Probleme, da er oftmals unscharf bleibt. Zugleich will Horkheimer die Herrschaft des Rackets als eine grundsätzliche Eigenschaft von Herrschaft betrachten, die nicht nur unter einem Monopolkapitalismus zum Vorschein tritt. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über die Rackets der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart.

„Kultur heute schlägt alles mit Ähnlichkeit. Film, Radio, Magazine machen ein System aus. Jede Sparte ist einstimmig in sich und alle zusammen“, schreiben Max Horkheimer und Theodor W. Adorno im Kulturindustrie-Kapitel in der „Dialektik der Aufklärung“. Wo manche Pluralisierung und Buntheit erkennen wollen, sehen die Philosophen der Frankfurter Schule eine große Vereinheitlichung innerhalb des Monopolkapitalismus am Werk, die konformes Denken und Autoritätshörigkeit produziert. Die Freizeitgestaltung unterscheidet sich nicht mehr wesentlich von der Arbeitszeit. Im Akkord wird konsumiert und produziert. Auch der Unterschied zwischen einer Ware und Kulturerzeugnissen verschwimmt, wenn alles käuflich wird. Im Zeitalter von algorithmischer Sortierung, von Spotify-Playlisten und KI-generierter Kunst lohnt es sich, das Kapitel aus dem Klassiker der Kritischen Theorie noch einmal zu lesen. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über die Kulturindustrie der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Literatur: Max Horkheimer, Theodor W.

In his new book, Dr. Carl Trueman writes, “The very rhetoric and concepts of critical theory, the other, intersectionality, and their like have become influential tools of wielding power rather than dismantling it. And so—as Frankfurt School members Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno themselves would no doubt point out—things have become their opposite; the liberator has become the tyrant, the tools of freedom have become the weapons of oppression.” Perhaps Goethe's Mephistopheles captures critical theory best when he uttered to Faust, “I am the spirit that negates.” Join me and Dr. Carl Trueman as we discuss the philosophy and the danger of critical theory in his new book To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse.

In this episode of Truth Tribe, I review Carl Trueman's newest book, "To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse." His magisterial 2020 volume, "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self," established him as an insightful, rigorous, and incisive analyst who writes lucidly about complex ideas and places them into a Christian context. He then followed up this book with a smaller summary volume, which added new material, which was called "Strange New World," which was published in 2022. His newest effort addresses in more depth elements taken up in that previous work, or actually those two previous works, the nature of Critical Theory and its influence in contemporary culture. Although critical race theory has its roots in critical theory, Truman does not say much about critical race theory. We are again in his debt for an in depth analysis, rich in original source research and pertinent for understanding contemporary cultural and political currents. Hegel was right in at least one thing: to understand an age, you must understand its philosophy, and as Christians, we must expose it and counter it with biblical truth. Truman, patiently and non polemically, explains critical theory. To do so, he explores the philosophies of major figures such as Hegel, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud, and culturally significant thinkers from the German Frankfurt school such as Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer. He also consults Neo-Marxist thinkers such as John Lucas and Karl Koch and the Neo-Freudian Wilhelm Reich as a historian. Truman's aim is more elucidation than reputation, and he exposes difficult ideas in readable prose—no mean feat. However, he is wisely critical of critical theory to summarize and review a book that explores several dense thinkers, and their significance is challenging. I'd rather teach it than review it. However, several salient ideas emerge, which I will discuss here.

Auf den ersten Blick scheint der Faschismus der große Gegenpol zum Liberalismus zu sein. Die Frankfurter Schule sieht dies anders: Max Horkheimer beschreibt im Jahr 1939 in seinem Essay „Die Juden und Europa“, wie aus dem Liberalismus der Faschismus erwachsen konnte. In seinem berühmten Text findet sich auch der bekannte Satz: „Wer aber vom Kapitalismus nicht reden will, sollte auch vom Faschismus schweigen.“ Keineswegs ist die Marktwirtschaft mit ihren Konkurrenzverhältnissen das Gegenteil von autokratischer Staatsmacht, vielmehr erleben wir, wie in der Krise der Staat als ideeller Gesamtkapitalist die kapitalistische Wirtschaft lenkt, um die Profite der Kapitalisten abzusichern. Juden, die in den Jahrzehnten zuvor vom Liberalismus und dessen Toleranz profitierten, werden, wenn der Staatskapitalismus regiert, zu den ersten Opfern. Horkheimers Text, der an manchen Stellen Lenin recht nahekommt, ist immer noch wegweisend, weil er liberale Illusionen entlarvt und die Gewalt des Kapitalismus klar benennt. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“. Literatur: Max Horkheimer: Die Juden und Europa, in: Ders.: Gesammelte Schriften. Bd. IV.

Gibrán y Christian se reúnen para analizar un escrito de Max Horkheimer, autor fundamental para la tradición de la Teoría Crítica, llamado "Autoridad y Familia en la actualidad" de 1949. Texto, que representa una continuación de un estudio publicado en 1936, reflexiona la importancia y el rol de la familia en la sociedad capitalista. ¿Cómo entender su integración y por ende funcionamiento? ¿Puede ser aún un espacio utópico que no se rige por la lógica del mercado? #teoriacrítica #horkheimer #escueladefrankfurt

We are joined by philosopher and Marxist intellectual Gabriel Rockhill to discuss the relevance and importance of the recently translated work, Western Marxism (Monthly Review Press, 2024) by Domenico Losurdo. In this discussion, we analyze Losurdo's book with a focus on extracting the most seminal insights and lessons from the text. We discuss the various Western Marxist thinkers that are critiqued in the text, from Michel Foucault, Hannah Arendt, Max Horkheimer, to Theodor Adorno and others. We discuss how this text can promote a shift in the western Marxist left in today's time and why it is hitting a nerve. Learn more about Western Marxism by Losurdo please visit (https://monthlyreview.org/product/western-marxism/).  Dr. Gabriel Rockhill is the Founding Director of the Critical Theory Workshop / Atelier de Théorie Critique, Professor of Philosophy and Global Interdisciplinary Studies at Villanova University, and the author or editor of ten books, as well as numerous scholarly and general public articles. He is also the Associate Director of Cultural Studies at Villanova University, Research Associate at the Laboratoire d'anthropologie politique – LAP (EHESS, Paris), one of the editors-in-chief of the World Marxist Review, and co-editor of the book series AIM–Anti-Imperialist Marxism.

Como foi possível a barbárie do século XX? Em Dialética do esclarecimento, Theodor Adorno e Max Horkheimer tentam responder a esta questão e afirmam que o regresso não é algo externo em oposição ao esclarecimento, mas que está contido em seu núcleo.

We examine Losurdo's criticism of western Marxism in relation to anticolonial revolution following the Second World War. We discuss Walter Benjamin's "Theses on the Philosophy of History," Max Horkheimer's Authoritarian State, Althusser's antihumanist turn, Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason, Adorno's Nietzschean pessimism, and Tronti's workerism. We discuss how Losurdo pinpoints an aversion to the anticolonial revolution in the Marxist theories that are generated by these thinkers. We discuss the merits of Losurdo's polemic, where it hits the mark and where it falls short. Please join us at https://www.patreon.com/torsiongroups. 

„Gesellschaftliche Veränderungs- und soziale Verlustängste, garniert mit Verschwörungsfantasien“: das sei bis heute – und heute neuerlich in besonderem Maße – die politisch-soziale Grundkonstellation der „Mitte“, schreibt der deutsche Soziologe Stephan Lessenich im 2018 veröffentlichten Sammelband „Die Mitte als Kampfzone“. Stephan Lessenich leitet derzeit das Frankfurter Institut für Sozialforschung, das unter Max Horkheimer und Theodor W. Adorno als „Frankfurter Schule“ berühmt wurde. Andrea Hauer hat ihn via Internettelefon zu einem Gespräch gebeten. Die „Mitte“ sei ein „unbestimmter“ und „inklusiver“ Begriff, meint Soziologe Lessenich; damit könne man suggerieren, was in Industrieländern mit Kapitalismus und Bürgertum gleichgesetzt wird: Wohlstand, Leistungsbereitschaft, Sicherheit, Stabilität. Zugleich sei die „Mitte“ ein „exklusiver“ Begriff, da von einem „Rand“ ausgegangen wird.

Zionism, and the project of ethnic cleansing and colonial settlement in historic Palestine, is often rightly compared to other projects of European colonialism. But in a recent essay for Parapraxis, my guest Jake Romm argues that Zionism not only has been influenced by the European imperial project, but that it has also been massively shaped by anti-semitism, and that in its recapitulation of anti-semitic stereotypes, and even anti-semitic practice, it makes sense to view Zionism as a species of anti-semitism itself. We talked about how Jake came to this view via Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno's The Dialectic of Enlightenment, why he thinks Zionism has always been bent on the destruction of the Palestinian people and could never be content with merely exploiting Palestinian labour. And we also talked about the extreme machismo of Israeli society, and how October 7th was experienced as an emasculating event. Finally, we talked about Israel's likely turn to a permanent occupation of Gaza - and the possibility of the creation of new Israeli settlements in the territory.

İsrail ile LGBT yayılmacılığının ortak yanlarını düşününce ve parçaları birleştirdikçe dehşete düştüm. Eşcinsellik dayatması ile İsrail işgalciliği; dünyanın geri kalanını yok sayma psikopatlığını benzer yöntemlerle sahneliyorlar. ‘Eşcinsellik ve İsrail ne alaka' diyenler olacaktır. Sakince okuyun lütfen. Paris'te, Olimpiyat Oyunları açılışına damga vuran LGBT propagandası rezilliğini organize eden Thomas Jolly'nin Yahudi olması sadece bir detay. Pedofili ile ensest dâhil her türlü cinsel sapıklığı normal sayan, kitapları dünyada milyonlar satan felsefeci Judith Butler da Yahudi mesela. Hatta Amerika'daki eğitim-öğretimi 70'lerde kadim terbiyeden arındırıp, sapkın akımların önünü açan; Erich From, Jurgen Habermas ve Max Horkheimer da ünlü Yahudi düşünürler. Bir tarafta hiçbir kural-kaide tanımayan Siyonist düşüncenin inşa ettiği işgalci ve katil İsrail… Diğer tarafta, normal olan her şeye karşı anormalliği dayatan LGBT ideolojisi… Her ikisi de yok edici, düzen bozucu. Her ikisi de yaşamları tarumar ediyor. Çıkış noktaları benzer. Gördük ki LGBT ideolojisi de Siyonizm gibi günümüz dünyasının dokunulmazlık zırhına büründürüldü. Nasıl ki Yahudiler, 1908'den sonra Filistin'de sistematik yerleşim politikası benimsedi ve köyleri işgal ederek kendi kendilerine yerleşimci statüsü kazandırıp 1948'de İsrail'i kurdular. Eşcinseller de 1960'larda Amerika'da ayrımcılığa karşı ayaklanmalar başlatıp, Avrupa ülkeleri ve ABD'de LGBT haklarını hızla kazandılar. Bugünün dünyasında İsrail'i eleştirmek antisemitizm sayılıyor. Eşcinselliği hastalık veya sapkın görmek de nefret suçu sayılıyor. Bugün Filistinlilerin yaşadıkları evler, herhangi bir Yahudi tarafından ellerinden alınabiliyor ve bu işgale kimseler ‘dur' demiyor. İsrail de bu sistematiği hukuken destekliyor. Birçok Batılı ülkede de eşcinseller, kendilerinin doğurmadıkları ve asla doğuramayacakları çocukları yasal olarak evlat edinebiliyorlar. Benzerlikler o kadar fazla ki. Bir yanda çocukların ve gençlerin cinsiyetlerini yok etmeyi gaye edinen LGBT sistematiği, diğer yanda Gazze'deki bir anneyi, bir genci ve bir bebeği öldürmek için tüm gücünü kullanan terör devleti İsrail. Siyonist üstenci düşünce Gazze'deki soykırımıyla tüm insanlığı açıkça hedef aldı. LGBT dayatmacılığı ise nesillerin devamını yumuşak soykırım modeli ile kesmek için tüm dünyayı adım adım kuşatıyor. Siyonist düşünce ‘Goyimleri', yani Yahudiler dışındaki tüm halkları kendileri için zararsız hale getirmeyi amaçlıyor. LGBT ideolojisi de eşcinsel yaşam biçimiyle aile kurumunu devreden çıkarıyor. Üreme durursa soykırım da tamamlanmış olacak. Nüfus artışının düşmesi, eşcinsel birlikteliklerin artması ya da yalnız yaşamın yaygınlaşmasına bakılırsa başarılı oluyorlar.

Even philosophers need downtime. In episode 106 of Overthink, Ellie and David take a break and chase down fun's place in today's world — from its aesthetic opposition to the highbrow realm of beauty, to its peculiar absence from philosophical discourse. What role does fun play in the good life? How does fun relate to art, play, and ritual? Can you really have fun by yourself? And what happens when the lines blur between the fun and the political?Check out the episode's extended cut here!Works DiscussedTheodor W.

„Dokonale osvícená země září ve znamení triumfálního neštěstí.“ Tak zní jedna z nejslavnější vět z Dialektiky osvícenství. Jde o programový spis tzv. Frankfurtské školy, který sepsali Theodor Adorno a Max Horkheimer v americkém exilu poté, co z Evropy uprchli před nacisty. Kniha se stala inspiračním zdrojem pro každou novou generaci myslitelů hlásící se k této tradici. K té čtvrté se řadí i jedna z nejvýznamnějších německých myslitelek současnosti Eva von Redecker. Ta svou knihou Revoluce pro život sepsala cosi, co můžeme v nadsázce označit za Dialektiku osvícenství pro 21. století. Podobně jako Adorno a Horkheimer si všímá i Eva von Redecker, že žijeme v systému, který zvěcňuje člověka a oduševňuje věci. Německá filozofka odmítá stejně jako její ideoví předchůdci kapitalistický sklon proměnit vše existující v prostor těžby. Eva von Redecker v tom spatřuje dvojí problém. Jednak je člověk odcizen sám sobě i druhým. Těžíme sebe sama stejně jako těžíme půdu: mnohdy se živíme různými doplňky i medikamenty ne proto, že jsme nemocní, ale proto, že potřebujeme být výkonnější. Výsledkem je vysílení západního člověka patrný na nárůstu psychických poruch. Druhý problém tkví v tom, že důraz na konzum nás činí nesvobodnými. Když konzumujeme, vybíráme z předem daných možností, aniž bychom se my sami pojímali jako tvůrci těchto možností. Jenže jednání, jež je podstatou lidství, může vzejít jen z pocitu sounáležitosti. I to ze současné společnosti mizí. Neplatí „miluj bližního svého“, ale „eliminuj bližního svého“. Jenže bez druhého, bez jeho navazování na mé konání nelze jednat: jednání je určeno výchozí pluralitou. Co s tím? A jsme skutečně v takto bezvýchodné situaci? Eva von Redecker užila v titulu své knihy pojem revoluce. Nemíní tím přitom žádné světodějné gesto, hovoří o revoluci pro život, která „sází méně na zlom a více na opakování“. Hovoří o „nové rutině a nových vzorcích jednání“. Ale víme, jak by taková rutina nové vzorce chování mohly vypadat? Kapitoly I. Jaká revoluce?

Nous sommes en 1784, année de la publication d'un ouvrage qui sera intitulé en français « Qu'est-ce que les Lumières ? ». Il est signé Emmanuel Kant. Le philosophe allemand y écrit : "Les Lumières, c'est la sortie de l'homme hors de l'état de tutelle dont il est lui-même responsable. L'état de tutelle est l'incapacité de se servir de son entendement sans la conduite d'un autre [...] Sapere Aude ! Aie le courage de te servir de ton propre entendement ! Voilà la devise des Lumières." Quatre ans plus tard, dans la « Critique de la raison pratique » du même Kant, on peut lire : "Agis de telle sorte que la maxime de ta volonté puisse être érigée en loi morale universelle." Près de cent cinquante ans plus tard, deux autres philosophes allemands, Theodor Adorno et Max Horkheimer, notent dans leur ouvrage « Dialectique de la raison » : « Ce qui est en cause, ce n'est pas la conservation du passé, mais la réalisation des espoirs du passé (…) La critique à laquelle sont soumises les Lumières tend à préparer un concept positif de ces Lumières qui puisse les libérer des rets dans lesquels les tient la domination aveugle. » Alors comment défendre les Lumières aujourd'hui ? Leur idéal d'émancipation a-t-il encore un sens ? Quelles sont les Lumières du vingt-et-unième siècle ? Invitée: Corine Pelluchon, philosophe, professeure à l'Université Gustave-Eiffel.

Exir, Toby and Jackson join for a discussion on the (in)famous Frankfurt School. They discuss the history of the Institute for Social Research from its founding as a think tank for the study of the workers' movement, through the turn to critical theory and empirical social research in the 1930s, its flight to America in the wake of the Nazis' rise to power, and its return to Germany after the Second World War. Focusing in on Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse, they use the trajectory of these thinkers and the Institute to consider questions of how intellectuals should relate to political movements, the relationship between theory and empirical research, and the possibility and desirability of intellectual independence. They also discuss some of the key ideas of the Frankfurt School, including the critique of instrumental reason, the concept of the totally administered society, and Marcuse's development of psychoanalytic ideas.

Part 2 (The Backroom), on The Possibility of Overcoming Myth is available exclusively on Patreon for 1Dime Patrons: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime This week's episode is all about the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory and the classic book "Dialectic of Enlightenment" By Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. For this installment of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Mike Watson, a professor, writer, and co-founder of Revol Press. We discuss the significance of 'Dialectic of the Enlightenment' and break down its key themes, not just focusing on the famous "Culture Industry" essay but also the other crucial parts of myth, The Odyssey, the concept of Enlightenment, Science, Reason, Technology, and the domination of nature. Our conversation delves into the pervasive influence of Enlightenment thinking on modern society, critiquing its tendency towards rationalization and its paradoxical return to myth. We explore Adorno's concepts of identity thinking, mythical thinking, and "negative dialectics."

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) nos desafia a deixar o que ele chama de “período da menoridade intelectual”. Ele afirma que somos responsáveis por nossa menoridade intelectual quando esta é causada não por uma deficiência da razão, mas por falta de coragem e determinação de usar sua própria razão sem ser guiado por outros. O lema do Iluminismo, para Kant, traduz-se como: “Ouse saber! Tenha coragem de usar sua própria razão!”.Curso "Introdução à filosofia - dos pré-socráticos a Sartre": https://www.udemy.com/course/introducao-a-filosofia-dos-pre-socraticos-a-sartre/?referralCode=51CAB762A412100AFD38Curso "A filosofia de Karl Marx - uma introdução": https://www.udemy.com/course/a-filosofia-de-karl-marx-uma-introducao/?referralCode=D0A85790C60A2D047A37Clube de leitura: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWEjNgKjqqIApoia.se: seja um de nossos apoiadores e mantenha este trabalho no ar: https://apoia.se/filosofiavermelhaNossa chave PIX: filosofiavermelha@gmail.comAdquira meu livro: https://www.almarevolucionaria.com/product-page/pr%C3%A9-venda-duvidar-de-tudo-ensaios-sobre-filosofia-e-psican%C3%A1liseMeu site: https://www.filosofiaepsicanalise.orgGrande parte da humanidade prefere ser guiada por outros a ser livre no pensamento, e isso por duas razões: preguiça e covardia.

Seja bem-vindo ao Conversas de Ateliê! Na mesa temos Bia Martins, Paulo Henrique Martins, André Magnelli e Lucas Faial Soneghet. Nesse episódio discutimos o conceito "indústria cultural", sua relevância e atualidade. O conceito foi cunhado por Theodor Adorno e Max Horkheimer no livro Dialética do Esclarecimento, para descrever o sistema de produção de bens culturais no capitalismo monopolista de meados do século XX. Segundo os teóricos críticos, o modo de produção capitalista haveria tomado a cultura de tal modo a suprimir suas funções e expressões históricas. No lugar, encontra-se um complexo de mídias (TV e rádio na época) que pela oferta de bens culturais inócuos e padronizados suprime as potencialidades da experiência humana e assim a possibilidade de emancipação. A cultura torna-se uma indústria: produção de mercadorias intercambiáveis e superficiais visando o lucro. Na era da internet e das redes sociais, com o avanço das tecnologias de informação e comunicação e demais transformações no ambiente cultural, nos perguntamos: esse conceito ainda é relevante? O que podemos dizer sobre a cultura hoje sob a ótica das divisões entre cultura erudita e popular, cultura de elite e de massa, que se encontravam na teoria crítica? Há monopólio ou oligopólio na indústria cultural em sua versão digital? Ainda há espaço para uma crítica dos bens culturais e da cultura? Na surpresa na mesa, André Magnelli continua nosso papo cultural com um exemplar da música popular brasileira. Tópicos discutidos: Indústria Cultural; Cultura; Capitalismo; Música. Vamos conversar?

"Kultur heute schlägt alles mit Ähnlichkeit", schrieben Theodor W. Adorno und Max Horkheimer in ihrem berühmten Kulturindustriekapitel in der Dialektik der Aufklärung von 1944. Doch ist dieses Diktum in unserer "Gesellschaft der Singularitäten" noch aktuell? Inwiefern ist Kultur überhaupt Träger von Ideologie und lässt sich als solche kritisieren? Wolfgang M. Schmitt knüpft mit seiner Filmanalysen an diese Fragen an und hat in unzähligen Videos die Ideologiekritik praktisch erneuert. Schmitt analysiert sowohl den populären Film von "Paw Patrol" bis "Avengers", als auch die großen Klassiker von Truffaut bis Scorsese. Seit Kurzem kann man seine Analysen auch als Buch erwerben. Mit Matthias Ubl spricht er bei Jacobin Talks über Ideologie, Kunst und die Notwendigkeit des Lesens.

Wie kam es trotz der aufklärerischen Hinwendung zu Vernunft und Toleranz zum Faschismus des 20. Jahrhunderts? Diese Frage stellten sich die Philosophen und Sozialforscher Theodor W. Adorno und Max Horkheimer 1944 in ihrer „Dialektik der Aufklärung“. Sie kamen zu dem immer noch überraschenden Ergebnis: Nicht trotz, sondern wegen ihrer Betonung der Vernunft hatte die Aufklärung Entwicklungen begünstigt, die ihren eigentlichen Zielen entgegen­standen. Was Adornos und Horkheimers Überlegungen für die Gegenwart bedeuten, darüber sprachen beim Salon Sophie Charlotte 2023 die Philosoph:innen Rainer Forst (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a. M., Akademiemitglied), Rahel Jaeggi (HU zu Berlin) und Historiker Jörg Später (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) mit der Journalistin Hannah Bethke (WELT).

Dr. Jerome Corsi digs deeply into Max Horkheimer and Theodore Adorno, who despised capitalism and the "enlightenment morality." The two men canonized the Marquis de Sade, celebrating him in their own collaborative works, and advocated the abandonment of objective classical values for a more self-centered inhibition-releasing cultural direction. Dr. Corsi takes a critical look at Horkheimer's and Adorno's worldview and influence on modern Neo-Marxist theory.Today's The Truth Central features commentary from Dr. Corsi's new book: The Truth About Neo-Marxism, Cultural Maoism and Anarchy.

Why is Star Wars so popular? What were the material conditions that set the first film, A New Hope, up for success in 1977? What can a Marxist critique help us understand about the film?In this episode, Marcelle leads Hannah through a conversation about one of her favorite franchises by first taking a close look at George Lucas's politics and the state of Hollywood in the 1970s. Marcelle and Hannah then think through the movie's seemingly progressive narrative — and the way it's been co-opted by people of all political views. Pulling on the work of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, Marcelle offers a Marxist reading of the film's lasting legacy and asks: what is conservative about the film? How does the film work to undermine and/or reinforce the ideology of repressive state apparatuses?If you like our show, please share it with family and friends!

O que é realmente "marxismo cultural?" Neste primeiro review, o prof. Ricardo aborda alguns pontos da Escola de Frankfurt, dando destaque especial para a obra de Max Horkheimer.

Have you ever thought, "dang, I just got out of work and I already dread going back tomorrow!"? Most of us have, and in response we did something to make ourselves feel better, something to take the edge off: we treated ourselves to an ice cream cone or binge watched our favorite Netflix series. That's the norm of 21st Century capitalism. Today's episode is about America's drug problem, but I take a route through a number of related topics including capitalism, leisure time, the "culture industry" (a term coined by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer), and Marx's alienation.I also cover some theory from Friedrich Nietzsche, Theo Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse and Karl Marx.

In this episode, the Editor-in-Chief of the German Platypus Review, Tobias Rochlitz, sits down with Platypus members Stefan H, Jan BH, and our co-host Lisa M, all of whom contributed to the content of the special PR issue on Gender, to discuss an reflect upon the interview with Koschka Linkerhand, Tove Soiland and the panel discussion 'Gender and the Left‘ with Platypus member Stefan H, Roswitha Scholz and Sara Rukaj. They talk about how the ideas of the New Left survived and continued in the Millennial Left generation, the Heideggerian aspect of Lacan and about the Millennial Left's focus on so-called “Materialism”.

Sei es in den Sozialwissenschaften, Lesekreisen oder Zeitungsfeuilletons: obwohl sein Denken wenig mit aktuellen akademischen Diskursen vereinbar scheint, bleibt Theodor W. Adorno nach wie vor präsent, wird studiert, zitiert und kritisiert. Iris Dankemeyer und Hannah Schmidt-Ott gehen der Frage nach, worin die Anziehungskraft seiner Schriften besteht. Es geht um den Reiz von existenziellem Pathos, Gänsehaut als ästhetische Kategorie, das gern missverstandene Verhältnis zu Max Horkheimer, Lektürefreuden und Adornos Kritik am Berghain.Iris Dankemeyer ist Vertretungsprofessorin an der Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften in Hamburg und hat sich ihrer Dissertation intensiv mit den musikalischen Schriften Adornos befasst.Hannah Schmidt-Ott ist Redakteurin beim sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachforum Soziopolis und der Zeitschrift Mittelweg 36.Literatur:Iris Dankemeyer: Die Erotik des Ohrs.

In 1954 Adorno wrote, "if one were to condense what the ideology of mass culture comes down to into a single sentence, one would have to represent it with the parodic statement: “become what you are.” Adorno offered a series of important lectures on the concept of ideology with Max Horkheimer in the wake of the Second World War. They argued against the liberal sociologists such as Mannheim and Weber's conceptions of ideology, and they also called for a new Marxist understanding of ideology. In this episode, we discuss the history of the concept of ideology up to Adorno's important intervention. This conversation is based on a newly translated article "Contribution to the Theory of Ideology" by Adorno and translated by our guest Jacob Bard-Rosenberg. Dr. Rosenberg has recently completed a Ph.D. on Adorno and Benjamin on memory, forgetting and dreams. You can download his dissertation here.

Christian is an economist whose work can help answer the question: how might economics become an 'emancipatory' social science? Christian holds a PhD in economics, is a professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, a former advisor to the alternative bank of Switzerland, and was a long-time researcher at the Belgian National Science Foundation. He's the author of Critical Political Economy and Full-Spectrum Economics, among other books on political economy with an existential and ecological focus. As an economist unafraid to venture into questions around spirituality, or the evolution of consciousness, his works are highly interdisciplinary, including a fusion of Ken Wilber's integral philosophy with post-neoclassical economics, and a dialogue between Max Horkheimer and Friedrich Hayek. Our conversation is about emancipatory social science. What is it, and how might economics move in its direction. More broadly, we cover: What emancipation means in the context of social science What Ken Wilber's philosophy can bring to economics Christian's loving critique of complexity economics The idea of a society's "critical spirit", which functions as a parallel to price signals The role that greater variety can play in changing the course of the economy as a complex system And the role that actual policies, like a basic income, or a job guarantee, or empowering people to work fewer hours, might play in making that kind of deep existential variety, variety in our forms of life, actually viable Enjoy!

O Estante BSM da semana, discute o livro “A Escola de Frankfurt e o início da Nova Esquerda”, do escritor e historiador Cristián Rodrigo Iturralde. O autor da obra procurou mapear e explicar de forma precisa as principais teses oriundas do Instituto de Pesquisa Social, mais conhecido como Escola de Frankfurt. Dessa forma, o autor do livro, analisa as ideias de renomados intelectuais do instituto, como Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse e Walter Benjamin. Além disso, Cristián Rodrigo Iturralde, constata a inovação da esquerda a partir desses pensadores e a maneira pela qual a cultura tornou-se tão importante, sendo na atualidade, o principal meio revolucionário. O impacto e o peso das teses frankfurtianas fomentaram a ideologia de gênero, o feminismo radical, o politicamente correto, a liberdade sexual, a destruição da família e da autoridade, entre outros. Na visão do autor, é o primeiro think tank organizado do marxismo não ortodoxo, cujo papel, foi determinante para os triunfos da nova esquerda. Acesse livrariabsm.com.br e aproveite as promoções.

Taking cues from Walter Benjamin's fragmentary writings on literary-historical method, Late Colonial Sublime: Neo-Epics and the End of Romanticism (Northwestern UP, 2018) re-constellates the dialectic of Enlightenment across a wide imperial geography, with special focus on the fashioning of neo-epics in Hindi and Urdu literary cultures in British India. Working through the limits of both Marxism and postcolonial critique, this book forges an innovative approach to the question of late romanticism and grounds categories such as the sublime within the dynamic of commodification. While G. S. Sahota takes canonical European critics such as Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer to the outskirts of empire, he reads Indian writers such as Muhammad Iqbal and Jayashankar Prasad in light of the expansion of instrumental rationality and the neotraditional critiques of the West it spurred at the onset of decolonization. By bringing together distinct literary canons—both metropolitan and colonial, hegemonic and subaltern, Western and Eastern, all of which took shape upon the common realities of imperial capitalism—Late Colonial Sublime takes an original dialectical approach. It experiments with fragments, parallaxes, and constellational form to explore the aporias of modernity as well as the possible futures they may signal in our midst. A bold intervention into contemporary debates that synthesizes a wealth of sources, this book will interest readers and scholars in world literature, critical theory, postcolonial criticism, and South Asian studies. G.S. Sahota is associate professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz, where he holds the Aurora chair in Sikh and Punjab Studies. His first book, Late Colonial Sublime: Neo-Epics and the End of Romanticism (Northwestern University Press, 2018), was awarded the Modern Language Initiative Grant of the Mellon Foundation. He is currently undertaking research toward two separate books (Transposed Minds: Indo-German Cultural Exchange and a Critique of Identity, and The Name of Reason: Sikhism, Secularism, and a Future Philosophy), pursuing a photography project on the gurdwaras of California, composing fragmentary thought-images, and learning Italian. Saronik Bosu (@SaronikB on Twitter) is a doctoral candidate in English at New York University. He is writing his dissertation on literary rhetoric and economic thought.

Taking cues from Walter Benjamin's fragmentary writings on literary-historical method, Late Colonial Sublime: Neo-Epics and the End of Romanticism (Northwestern UP, 2018) re-constellates the dialectic of Enlightenment across a wide imperial geography, with special focus on the fashioning of neo-epics in Hindi and Urdu literary cultures in British India. Working through the limits of both Marxism and postcolonial critique, this book forges an innovative approach to the question of late romanticism and grounds categories such as the sublime within the dynamic of commodification. While G. S. Sahota takes canonical European critics such as Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer to the outskirts of empire, he reads Indian writers such as Muhammad Iqbal and Jayashankar Prasad in light of the expansion of instrumental rationality and the neotraditional critiques of the West it spurred at the onset of decolonization. By bringing together distinct literary canons—both metropolitan and colonial, hegemonic and subaltern, Western and Eastern, all of which took shape upon the common realities of imperial capitalism—Late Colonial Sublime takes an original dialectical approach. It experiments with fragments, parallaxes, and constellational form to explore the aporias of modernity as well as the possible futures they may signal in our midst. A bold intervention into contemporary debates that synthesizes a wealth of sources, this book will interest readers and scholars in world literature, critical theory, postcolonial criticism, and South Asian studies.

In 1930, after four years as lecturer in social philosophy at Frankfurt, he was named director of the university's newly founded Institute for Social Research. Under his leadership, the institute attracted an extraordinarily talented array of philosophers and social scientists—including Theodor Adorno (1903–69), Eric Fromm (1900–80), Leo Löwenthal (1900–93), Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979), and Franz Neumann (1900–54)—who (along with Horkheimer) came to be known collectively as the Frankfurt School. Horkheimer also served as editor of the institute's literary organ, Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung (“Journal for Social Research”), which published pathbreaking studies in political philosophy and cultural analysis from 1932 to 1941.The institute's first study in this vein, “Authority and the Family,” was still incomplete when the Nazi seizure of power forced most members of the institute to flee Germany in 1933. Horkheimer moved to New York City, where he reestablished the institute and its journal at Columbia University. Throughout the remainder of the decade, he sought to keep the flame of critical theory burning by writing a number of programmatic essays for the Zeitschrift. Among the most influential of these works was “Traditional and Critical Theory” (1937), in which he contrasted what he considered the socially conformist orientation of traditional political philosophy and social science with the brand of critical Marxism favoured by the institute. According to Horkheimer, the traditional approaches are content to describe existing social institutions more or less as they are, and their analyses thus have the indirect effect of legitimating repressive and unjust social practices as natural or objective. By contrast, critical theory, through its detailed understanding of the larger historical and social context in which these institutions function, would expose the system's false claims to legitimacy, justice, and truth.In 1941 the institute, which had been beset by financial troubles, was effectively dissolved, and Horkheimer moved to Los Angeles. There he collaborated with Adorno on an influential study, Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), which traced the rise of fascism and other forms of totalitarianism to the Enlightenment notion of “instrumental” reason. The work's pessimism reflects the defeats that progressive European social movements had suffered since the early 1930s. A more accessible version of the book's argument also appeared in 1947 under the title The Eclipse of Reason. In 1950 Horkheimer returned to Frankfurt, where he reestablished the institute and ultimately became rector of the university. His later work displays his enduring fascination with the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) and the philosophy of religion. Horkheimer felt that Schopenhauer's pessimistic social philosophy more faithfully reflected the lost prospects for utopia than did the more optimistic social theories of the postwar period.From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Max-Horkheimer. For more information about Max Horkheimer:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:Carolin Emcke about Horkheimer, at 25:30: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-060-carolin-emcke“Max Horkheimer”: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/horkheimer/Towards a New Manifesto: https://www.versobooks.com/books/2679-towards-a-new-manifesto

In this episode we talk about Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment, focusing on their notion of reason as abstractive domination and their understanding of the culture industry as a means of producing mass complicity with the machinations of capital. The good news is that we've got a much better sense of humor than either of them, so it's not as miserable as all that might sound. The bad news is we're not sure if they're wrong to be so pessimistic. We also drag a fair bit of popular culture, admit we still love it, and call out the podcast form itself. But you don't need to worry: your media consumption habits are good. You're fine. You're one of the ones who gets it, definitely.This is just a small clip from the full episode, which is available to patrons: patreon.com/leftofphilosophyReferences:Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, Dialectic of Enlightenment, trans.

This episode is a recording of The Coming Tsunami live seminar, where Dr. Mark Turman and Dr. Jim Denison discussed the origins of Critical Race Theory and the “five lanes” of how Christians should respond. They closed by addressing questions from the audience.    First, Mark and Jim discuss the context and summary of Dr. Denison's new book, The Coming Tsunami (available to order now). They point out the need for Christians to understand the culture and the time we live in. Jim's designation of four earthquakes helps us understand the rising cultural backlash against Christianity.    As they narrow in their discussion to focus on Critical Race Theory (CRT), they consider the formation of Critical Theory by examining Max Horkheimer and Karl Marx. While Marx argued that oppressed and oppressor economic classes of people define society, Horkheimer expanded that vision by arguing that oppressed and oppressor distinctions exist in every area of life and in every institution. CRT comprises those ideas but is applied more narrowly to America and race.    After they establish a solid understanding of CRT, they consider the good and the bad in it. In regards to Marxism, Jim discusses his time in communist Cuba and the consequences that ideas have. Some of the principles of CRT are opposed to the Bible, and some are not.    We can consider CRT a box of ideas that we must sort through with discernment. For instance, contrary to the Bible, Marxism and CRT argue that there is no personal sin or individual responsibility. CRT is right to point out that racial inequalities still exist and are pervasive to this day. While many social issues persist in America, Christians are stepping up to improve people's lives and fight against inequities.    They then conclude by extrapolating the five lanes of personal application of CRT according to Dr. Denison:  Does systemic racism exist? Yes, and Jim discusses some evidence supporting this point.  Does racism (prejudice) exist in my life? We need to examine ourselves for the potential of this sin and include accountability partners if we can. Do I need to give personal reparations to those I've harmed? Certainly, just as Zaccheus gave reparations to all those he stole from. If we're convicted to right the wrongs of our personal prejudice, we absolutely should. Do I need to give cultural reparations for those being harmed? No. The Bible only holds individuals guilty for their own sins. Do I need to give cultural reparations to those who have been harmed? No, again for the same reasons as above.    After this, Jim answered three questions from the live, online audience.    “How Can Christians best work against the misapplication of CRT in current debates and in current public places?” Jim and Mark respond from various angles.  “Which earthquake does Dr. Denison consider the most imminent?” To which Jim responds by discussing the Equality Act and the ramifications of the second earthquake, that biblical morality is intolerant. “Is it important to share this coming tsunami with non-believing friends?” While Jim believes that this message is critical to changing the tide, the book is for Christians, first and foremost. It wasn't written to convince non-believers, but to warn believers.    Instead of being warriors in the culture, we need to be missionaries, speaking the truth in love, and using our influence to spread the good news. That will lead to revival and change the tide.    P.S. Jim's most pivotal book to date, The Coming Tsunami, is now available on Kindle, hardcover, and audible. As of writing these show notes, it has risen to #4 in Christian social issues on Amazon. Order yours today!   Resources and further reading: “Can We Still Reason Together?” – Robert P.
