"The dialectic of enlightenment" is a representative work of Hawke Heimo and Adorno,who in the name of "Dialectic of enlightenment", the myth and enlightenment as the core, todecrypt the "myth is the enlightenment, and Enlightenment retreats into myth" of theEnlightenment: the logic of modern civilization originated from the enlightenment andenlightenment as the target (i.e. industrial civilization) according to its own nature anddialectical into the opposite of enlightenment, the Enlightenment on how itself contains anegative nature link itself back into myth, eventually led to the "enlightened self-destruction".In this way, Horkheimer and Adorno through the decryption enlightenment logic, establishedthe basic theme of modernity criticism to "Dialectics of enlightenment" as the basic positionof enlightenment modernity: the logic as a secret, modernity and the enlightenment spirit hasthe nature of internal connection. The critique of modernity is the critique of instrumentalrationalism, the crisis of modernity is the enlightenment spirit crisis.In the view of Horkheimer and Adorno, enlightenment always adhere to own oppositeand myth, the anthropomorphic as all myth foundation, followed by the inevitable reflect thenature is human nature, human is the typical presentation, the relationship between nature andhuman to make people always dark unclear. They think, want to change the Enlightenment ofthe problems of its own, to destroy the logic of the core elements, they discussed theEnlightenment of the logic. In the "Dialectics of enlightenment", Horkheimer and Adorno putforward the alienation of the industrial civilization of human impact,"as the dominant forceof nature step by step growth, system control human power in synchronous growth. So, allthings will be obedient scientists will. At the same time, when human beings withenlightenment way, by virtue of the power of reason will process this goal gradually realized,people find that "with the dominant force of nature step by step growth,...... Spirit as and owndivisive nature, in its self knowledge, like in the prehistoric period, natural calling themselves,but no longer use it in the name of his Almighty, called manna, but called himself a be out oftouch with reality, the existence of incomplete. The natural decline in the conquest of nature,not the spirit of conquest, would not exist. Once the spirit that rule and retreat to nature, then,it will give up this can make it become natural slave ruling idea." Therefore, Horkheimer andAdorno said,"only when people know the true face of the natural, natural to become survivaldesire for peace, be this kind of consciousness: it started from a inspire people, unswervinglyand leader and his group launched a contest."The dialectic of enlightenment" which containsthe modern critical spirit has become the Spiritual School of one principle runs through it all.Frankfurt, constitute a school common spirit; it is also based on this, he wrote "negativedialectics" will be the absence of the dialectic of enlightenment in the negative dialectics spiritto reveal. Modernity is actually the modern loss of non-identity and negative caused by, wantto restore the original meaning of enlightenment should inject non-identity principle so as torestore the vigor and vitality in the modernity problem.
