Ideologia burguesa e dominação capitalista como movimento científico e político-filosófico na dialética do esclarecimento

Abstract

This article is a reflection from the contributions of Adorno and Horkheimer in Dialectic of Enlightenment work that investigates the ideological action of bourgeois society as social-historical phenomenon that emerged at the dawn of the Enlightenment. It discusses in what sense this ideological movement appropriated the scientific thought to invalidate the metaphysical thinking and critical-philosophical know later if and how the science and technology used as mere instruments of domination of nature and of man by man in the guise an emancipatory project that consolidated the capitalist system. We seek to understand the critique of instrumental reason modus operandi and their ideological assimilation as philosophical-political movement that used the positive law, art and mass media to maintain social organization divided into social classes.
