Dialectic of Enlightenment

The original goal of the Enlightenment was for people to uphold the banner of reason, free themselves from ignorance and fear, and establish freedom and autonomy. However, as reason triumphed and humanity's ability to transform nature reached its peak, the Enlightenment took the opposite direction...
By exploring the origins of the concept of Enlightenment, criticizing the culture industry, and revealing the profound ideological roots of anti-Semitism, this book attempts to point out that if Enlightenment loses its critical dimension, it will become purely instrumental rationality; if it loses its humane dimension, it will ultimately become a hostile monster. To achieve this, we need the dialectic of Enlightenment.
