Far from being a closed text, the work is presented as a revealing testimony of critical theory’s political self-evaluation. Through their conversations, the authors explore how to renew critical thinking to address the social transformations of their time, offering the reader a privileged look at the process of creating a new praxis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book collects discussions held between Adorno and Horkheimer in which they ask themselves how to articulate a manifesto that is fair to the situation of their era. Throughout these pages, the authors not only diagnose the crises of advanced capitalism and mass culture, but also attempt to outline the foundations for a new theoretical and practical intervention. It is an exercise in self-criticism and a rethinking of the foundations of critical theory, where philosophy meets the political urgency of transforming reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-evaluation of critical theory and its political relevance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNeed for a new manifesto adapted to contemporary historical conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of late capitalism and the culture industry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between theory and praxis in the thought of the Frankfurt School.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophical dialogue as a method for constructing collective thought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at students and professionals of philosophy, sociology, and political science, as well as readers interested in critical thought and the tradition of the Frankfurt School.
