Max Horkheimer on Modernism - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas III 464 Modernism/Horkheimer/Habermas: for Horkheimer modernism is characterized by the fact that the same disenchantment with which religion and metaphysics had overcome the level of mythical-magical thinking shook the rationalized worldviews themselves at their core, namely in the credibility of theological and ontological-cosmological principles. >Disenchantment. The religious-metaphysical knowledge conveyed by teaching solidifies into dogma, revelation and traditional wisdom is transformed into mere tradition, conviction becomes a subjective "considering-something-true". >Knowledge, >Truth. World Views/Horkheimer: the way of thinking of the world views itself becomes obsolete, salvation knowledge and world wisdom dissolve into subjectified powers of faith. Only now can phenomena such as fanaticism of faith (fanaticism) and traditionalism of education appear as concomitants of Protestantism on the one hand and humanism on the other. >Protestantism, >Worldviews, >Humanism. Habermas III 465 Education/Horkheimer/Habermas: in modernism, educational knowledge is separated from modern philosophy, which at the same time identifies itself ambiguously as an opponent and heir to religion with science and temporarily saves it into the scientific system. This educational knowledge is primarily justified by the fact that it continues traditions. >Education, >Cultural transmission. Problem: the difficulty of traditionalism in education is that it has to conceal its own basis. For only those traditions must be conjured at all that are not certified by good reasons.(1) >Cultural values, >Culture, cf. >Cultural relativism. 1.M.
