>The Enlightenment was... le BAD?
the enlightenment was overall a net negative solely for the fact that it made blacks equal among whitesyou'd have to be completely blind to think otherwise
>>24948256>The Enlightenment was... le CONTRADICTORY?
>>24948256All their books boil down to>Germans are le bad and we must do everything to stop them from le doing things ever againIf your book starts by arguing everything that led up to the holocaust is objectively evil now, I’m just not gonna take anything you kvetching kike write seriously anymore.

>>24948256It was actually, yes
>>24948256No. The enlightenment was left unfinished.

>>24948343>>Germans are le bad and we must do everything to stop them from le doing things ever againBased and 100% true
The chapter on D&E in Nihil Unbound filtered me. How does reason emerge from primitive god worship? What is the difference between mimesis and mimicry. Adornobros help me out. >In the speculative anthropology proposed by Adorno and Horkheimer, instrumental rea- son is the extension of tool-use and hence a function of adaptational constraints. The emergence of instrumental rationality is inseparable from the primordial confrontation between dominating and dominated powers which primitive humanity experienced in its powerlessness before all-powerful nature. Sacrifice is the attempt to effect a commensuration between these incommensurables – between the omnipotence of nature and the impotence of primitive humanity. Yet from the outset sacrificial magic presupposed the logic of mimesis: ‘At the magical stage dream and image were not regarded as mere signs of things but were linked to them by resemblance or name. The relationship was not one of inten- tion but of kinship. Magic like science is concerned with ends but it pur- sues them through mimesis, not through an increasing distance from the object’ (Adorno and Horkheimer 2002: 7). Mimesis establishes the equivalence between dissimilars which provides the precondition for sacrifice. It provides a non-conceptual commensuration of particularity with generality, thereby allowing one to serve as a substitute for the other"
>>24948261>so yeah we should assume the universe revolves around the earth and bring back slavery because its heckin based and stuff!

>>24949103>individual woman doesn't exist>still weaker as one or a group>in a group they summon nature and speak for other women what cannot be spokenGet in there Adorno and slurp up that milk chocolate. Historical dialectic demands it!
>>24949094The universe revolves around any point you want it to, this was figured out over 100 hundred years ago.
>>24949094>>so yeah we should assume the universe revolves around the earthwhy is thinking this.... LE BAD, soiencetard?
>>24948256>le Enlightenment is le bad>but let's just unquestioningly hold to its premises that freedom is power/potential, wholly discursive reason, truth as constraint, concrete particulars are more fundamental, nominalism/individualism, and the resulting voluntarism that comes with these assumptions.>Hence, we must be terrified of le riefication which is le oppression because le freedom is potency, so the actualization of the intellect by truth is le bad. Truth is le violence.The irony is the misology and relativism this triggers just reduces in everything coming down to power relations. Reason can no longer adjudicate and so all that is left is the violence of Hitler, Stalin, and the liberal states against the Third World. The only thing that papered this over was zombie like continuation of Christian ethical and teleological assumptions. The spiritual logic of critical theory and post-modernism both terminate in fascism, whether they like it or not.Dostoevsky saw further than most here.

>>24949089I'm hijacking this thread to vent with relevancy to this. I fucking hate all humans except for myself and want them to die out. The only means of acting on this I have are the following:Don't do anything for anyone except myself and my personal gain. Invest in whatever brings me the most profit, which inevitably includes companies that exploit people, harm them through medication and implant side effects as well as addiction, build weapons that kill millions, cause financial crises and destroy the environment. Drive a car that consumes a lot of gas and produces a lot of emissions to destroy the environment. Fly as much as I can to destroy the environment. Eat meat to destroy the environment.Am I sacrificing nature including humans on the altar of instrumental reason? I hope so.
>>24948256Very difficult to read. I wonder if the German original is easier to read for someone who knows German well.
