Apontamento sobre os conceitos de práxis, indúdtria cultural, ideologia e educação em Theodor Adorno

Abstract

This article outlines one analysis about the concepts of praxis, cultural industry, ideology and about the theme of education in Adorno. In the context of late modernity, the theory gave in to the instrumental reason, and the praxis became compulsively a reproduction process of “status quo”. The education turned out to be one semi-formation and the own forms of expression of ideology embraced changes. So, the critical theory becomes the latest form of praxis, aware of its deficiencies and lacks, so that it is up to this critical path to open the way, including through education, to one process of emancipation.
