The book thus ties American, British, French and German theoretical traditions into a reflexive challenge to the notion of intellectual as critic, and argues instead for a trespassive tradition of cultural leadership. During a time in which national democracies seem an imperial farce, it is not enough for intellectuals faced with all this destruction to blithely recommend resistance. Positive dialectics signal a new era of intellectual engagement in the construction of our historical future. Providential enlightenment is not only a critique of the failure of enlightenment, but of the mutilation of historical enlightenments.
The spectacle, in this case, is the apotheosis of the culture industries, a total inversion of reality and of our existences. Des milliers de livres avec la livraison chez vous en 1 jour ou en magasin avec -5 de réduction.
