Frankfurt School - Critical Theory

[@funny3291]

It's kinda ironic to use Jazz music as an introduction to Frankfurt School video.

@@digitalojos Adorno has explicitly mentioned his dislike towards it saying one doesn't know what real music is if one is into jazz. It is pretty dogmatic.

[@isaacliu._.6899]

@@NazriB I can understand why he said that. In the Dialectic of Enlightenment, Adorno and Horkheimer's discussion of the culture industry was a prescriptive problem of what was wrong with society, and the culture industry included everything from corporate culture to all of the leisurely activities we engage in. And everything else that was produced within this sort of structure is seen as a product of the culture industry which is designed to limit your freedom. What they decided was a good solution was to reject everything in modern society, and while "closed-mindedness" would not be the best categorization of this solution, it definitely is a valid interpretation.

I dont think it was exactly. Ive always wanted to know how they got so confused that they didnt realize that Stalin was following communism and Marxism rather accurately, and handing the means of production to the state, just as they prescribed.

The Frankfurt school are / were a bunch of pseudo intellectuals. The most famous one is Adorno. His most famous work is "The authoritarian personality" . In this methodologically flawed study he claims that authoritarianism can only exist on the political right. His work was published in the 1950s. In the 1930s Stalin let about 5 million Ukrainians starve to death during the holodomor to demonstrate his power. Yet Adorno claims authoritarianism can only exist on the poltical right. Also Horkheimer blamed science for the existence of National socialism "Horkheimer therefore concludes that the positivist separation of reason and reality provided the basis for the coexistence of science and national socialism: by “failing to fail,” by allowing reason to exist within a fundamentally unjust and violent society, the sciences contributed to making the latter “respectable.” And he locates this separation of reason and reality in a particular historical context. Liberal capitalist society, he argues, is not directed by a plan, governed by a particular authority, or oriented toward a com- mon goal. Instead, the whole of liberal society emerges simply as the result of a myriad of particular relationships, as the result of competition between different individuals and groups (Horkheimer, 1968: 22, 24-25). As long as the whole of society is unreasonable, therefore, reason cannot come into its own (Horkheimer, 1968: 27-29, 36)." Regarding empircism and their rejection of: "A fundamental critique of the structure should necessarily be philosophical. However, it is clear that such a critique cannot do without reference to the actual world. The difference with the Institut’s research in the 1930s was that objectivity was no longer a primary goal. Instead of focusing on an empirical methodology, Horkheimer and Adorno gave a philosophical interpretation of the world." "At the same time that Horkheimer and Adorno rejected the need of quantitative research in their philosophical work, the Institut had to actively engage in it to save its existence. Despite its attempts to get rid of metaphysical commitments and ideological preferences, the Institut failed to develop an objective, scientific sociology." The philosopher Karl Popper classified the whole of Adorno's work as "rhetoric in German language". Throughout existence the Frankfurt school opposed empiricism (a cornerstone of every non-formal science). This is the reason why these ideologues have not produced anything useful in one century. Yet they claim to be more objectiv than science. Bunch of lunatics

Why do they want to come to a successful capitalist country and try to undermine it. Why don’t they go to Venezuela, Cuba, and the other socialists countries and tell them how great socialism is.

[@p6v665]

this comment uses 2 dogmas and a fallacy. ergo decedo, assumes capitalism is successful despite the overwhelming evidence it is not, and also claims cuba and venezuela are socialist.
