In his most important work Max Horkheimer surveys & demonstrates the gradual ascendancy of Reason in Western philosophy its eventual total application to all spheres of life & what he considers its present reified domination. First published in 1947 Horkheimer here explores the ways in Nazism
- that most irrational of political movements
- had co-opted ideas of rationality for its own ends. Ultimately the book is a warning of the ways this might happen again & as such this is a book that has never appeared more timely.
