Habermas III 463 History of Consciousness/Horkheimer/Habermas: the background for the modern history of consciousness are those metaphysical-religious worldviews from which Max Weber first read the process of disenchantment. Like Weber, Horkheimer sees the result of this development in world views in the fact that cultural value spheres are formed that obey specific laws of their own: Horkheimer: "this division of cultural spheres results from the fact that the general objective truth is replaced by formalized, innermost relativistic reason. (1) Horkheimer/Habermas: the subjectivization of reason corresponds to the irrationalization of morality and art. >Value Spheres/Horkheimer, Religious Belief/Horkheimer, Modernism/Horkheimer. 1. M.
