	dialectic
		Indeed, dialectic was the cornerstone of his philosophy, and he conceptualized systems as diverse as the history of the world and the journey of the human spirit as operating according to dialectical structures.
		Dialectical materialism is the first important permutation of the Hegelian dialectic, and the ways in which it departs from Hegel can be summarized by a cursory glance at the fundamental difference between Idealism and Materialism.
		Dialectic allows us to break down the bifurcated model of spectator/artwork so that, for example, it becomes possible for both the reader and writer to create meaning in a poem, and for an abstract (see abstraction) painting to reveal something intrinsic to both artwork and beholder.

	portland imc - 2007.01.10 - Dialectic of Enlightenment
		They were much influenced by the dialectical materialism and historical materialism of Karl Marx, as well the revisitation of the dialectical idealism of Hegel, in both of which where events are studied not in isolation but as part of the process of change.
		In works such as Dialectic of Enlightenment and Negative Dialectics, Adorno and Horkheimer theorised that the phenomenon of mass culture has a political implication, namely that all the many forms of popular culture were a single culture industry whose purpose was to ensure the continued obedience of the masses to market interests.
		This was a form of dialectic in which the audience could identify with the patriotism either sincerely (the thesis) or ironically (the antithesis) and so set the tone of the interpretation for the remainder of the film.

		Dialectic of Enlightenment is undoubtedly the most influential publication of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory.
		Enlightenment and myth, therefore, are not irreconcilable opposites, but dialectically mediated qualities of both real and intellectual life.
		Dialectic of Enlightenment: Philosophical Fragments is the most important work ever written by any of the members of the Frankfurt School; it stands as a type of manifesto really for the possibility of Critical Theory as a post-positivistic discipline.

	Institute for Social Ecology - Redeeming Reason: Domination and Reconciliation in Dialectic of Enlightenment
		The dialectic of enlightenment, which must indeed name the price of progress, all the ruin wrought by rationality in the form of increasing domination of nature, is in a sense broken off too soon, according to the model of a state of being whose blind impenetrability seems to block any way out.
		Dialectic of Enlightenment in fact traces the debasement of reason back to societal domination; the processes of corruption described in the book are socially determined and historically contingent rather than inherent in reason itself.
		My essay will defend this counter-reading of Dialectic of Enlightenment and show that the authors fulfill their stated aim: “The accompanying critique of enlightenment is intended to prepare the way for a positive conception of enlightenment which will release it from entanglement in blind domination.” (DoE xvi)7 Three preliminary methodological points are in order.

	Theodor W. Adorno (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Dialectic of Enlightenment presupposes a critical social theory indebted to Karl Marx.
		Adorno does not reject the necessity of conceptual identification, however, nor does his philosophy claim to have direct access to the nonidentical.
		Dialectics is "the consistent consciousness of nonidentity," and contradiction, its central category, is "the nonidentical under the aspect of identity." Thought itself forces this emphasis on contradiction upon us, he says.

		Because Enlightenment destroys the validity of any appeal to tradition, religion, etc., it falls pray to itself, in that Enlightenment's appeal to its own absolute values is undermined, in the same way that Juliette uses and is used by Catholicism in undermining it.

		Central in his philosophy was the dialectic method of argumentation in which the thought proceeds by contradiction, a collision of ideas from thesis to antithesis.
		Dialectic of Enlightenment was published when the end of Nazism was in sight.
		To avoid fallacy of the ultimate 'identity,' Adorno presented his principle of 'negative dialectics,' in which all theories are systematically negated and concepts are constantly reformed to fit the object.

	20th WCP: Philosophy and the Dialectic of Modernity
		The appeal of Habermas to American philosophers long acculturated in the Enlightenment tradition is that of a voice speaking for reason and justice; he stands forth philosophically on behalf of "rehabilitating the Enlightenment" in the face of various current modes of thought engaged in its undermining.
		Especially significant was Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment, which mythically portrayed the Enlightenment's capitalist domination of nature as the fearful source of Nazism: the domination of nature turns into the domination and repression of human beings, eventually into their self-repression and into their political and social domination by the Fascist regime.
		This is the drama occasioned by the dialectical struggle, rushing to climax in the 20th Century, between Enlightenment reason and its Counterenlightenment opponent, the struggle between these philosophical constellations which is refracted in the great wars of the 20th Century.

		Dialectic of Enlightenment is one of the most famous productions of the Frankfurt School, but one can hardly say that its fame is a result of the ease with which its many admirers have read it.
		Dialectic of Enlightenment is thus suffused with an atmosphere of gloom and pessimism which reflects the circumstances of its composition.
		Enlightenment, according to Horkheimer and Adorno, has always opposed myth, and the age of Enlightenment, because of its hostility to organized religion, attempted to exchange science for superstition: "The program of the Enlightenment was the disenchantment of the world; the dissolution of myths and the substitution of knowledge for fancy" (3).

	Notes on Adorno T and Horkheimer
		This is also the position of the master in Hegel's master-slave dialectic: the slave mediates between the master and nature, and this is the basis for the development of their mutual obligations.
		The Enlightenment is seen as the transcendental reason of the universal subject leading to truth and harmony, while empirical reason is seen as a matter of calculation, alienation or subjugation (pages 83 to 84).
		Adorno does not seem to be claiming that individuals are simply saturated and dominated by ideology, in other words, but rather that they are powerless to do anything other than like it.

	Article from PHILOSOPHY PATHWAYS Issue 114
		The 'dialectic of Enlightenment' expresses the consciousness of the complexity of the processes that produced Modernity, and now these processes are at the point of overcoming it or maybe they already overcame it.
		In the process of Enlightenment knowledge turns into power, and nature becomes reduced to 'a substratum of domination.' (DE, 9) The Enlightenment functions according to the principle of identity: it cannot stand the different and the unknown: 'What was different is equalized.' (DE, 12) 'When there is no longer anything unknown.
		Enlightenment's relapse into mythology means the fall of the spirit — which arose with it — under the blind dominion of nature.

	DIALECTIC OF ENLIGHTENMENT
		The prognosis of the related conversion of enlightenment into positivism, the myth of things as they actually are, and finally the identification of intellect and that which is inimical to the spirit, has been overwhelmingly confirmed.
		For it does not merely, as science, distance men from nature, but, as the self-consideration of thought that in the form of science remains tied to blind economic tendency, allows the distance perpetuating injustice to be measured.
		The priests always avenged mana on the prophet of enlightenment, who propitiated mana by a terror-stricken attitude to what went by the name of terror, and the augurs of the Enlightenment were one with the priests in their hybris.

	Fast Capitalism 2.2 \| Modern Science, Enlightenment, and the Domination of Nature: No Exit?
		One is, of course, 'dialectic of enlightenment,' which may be summed up in the proposition that enlightenment, the enemy of myth, falls victim to its opposite: 'The more completely the machinery of thought subjugates existence, the more blindly is it satisfied with reproducing it.
		The first—false (because partial or incomplete)—form of the dialectic of modernity was the perceived conflict between the new sciences and the dominant religious world-view.
		But as originally conceived in enlightenment thought, this would be matched by another kind of mastery, namely, self-mastery: to figure out how to control the irrational impulses of human nature, by comprehending (through science) the sources of those impulses and by extending the domain of reason in social relations.

	Dialectic: New Dialectic
		Dialectic of Enlightenment is, quite justifiably, one of the most celebrated and often cited works of modern social philosophy.
		Modernity, far from redeeming the promises and hopes of the Enlightenment, had resulted in a stultification of mankind and an administered society, characterised by simulation and candy-floss entertainment.
		The dialectic process as described by Hegel can be reduced to three parts: a recursive pattern of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Jeffrey Herf on Reactionary Modernism & Dialectic of Enlightenment
		It would be less than generous of me not to acknowledge the role concepts such as reification, the aestheticization of politics, and the dialectic of enlightenment have had in directing my attention to the existence of a reactionary modernist tradition in Germany.
		It was the weakness of the Enlightenment in Germany, not its strength, that encouraged the confusions concerning technology I have called reactionary modernism.
		What is striking in rereading this now-classic work is how little, if any, space is allotted to the Enlightenment as a contributor to the liberal political tradition—political pluralism, parliaments, public discussion, the defense of individual liberty against the state—and how much the book focuses on scientific reason undermining universal normative claims to the good life.

	Dialectic of Enlightenment
		In Dialectic of Enlightenment, the task Horkheimer and Adorno set themselves was nothing less than to discover why mankind, instead of entering into a truly human condition, is sinking into a new kind of barbarism.
		Dialectic of enlightenment is crucially important for the development of the Frankfurt school.
		The notion of enlightenment does not refer to a definite period or to a particular set of intellectual currents, but, as will be shown below, to more encompassing principles.

		Oberman adds that the coinherence of Scripture and Church does not equate to an “amorphous organism.” In other words, the Church is distinguished by her instrumental role of receiving and preserving the Apostolic deposit—a deposit which was understood as containing the original kerygma in toto (pp.
		Significantly condensing her argument, he suggests that the weakness of her defense is its tendency to "regularize or normalize the church's eucharistic situation in which the ontological dialectic of fulfillment and desire...replaces the eschatological dialectic of the departure and return of Jesus” (p.

		"Dialectic" in the title refers to a form of logic which commencing with the early 19th century German philosopher Hegel.
		It is presented, superficially, in survey classes as a weird kind of pseudo-logic in which things become their opposite, and then the thing and its opposite "synthesize" to form a higher, more involved thing.
		The dialectic is a response, in the real material conditions that have obtained in developed societies since the end of the 18th century, to the fact that mere traditional logic is a closed system.
