Meaning Change Adorno Rorty III 103
Meaning Change/Adorno/Dialectic of Enlightenment: Adorno thought that concepts were subject to historic change! Period provides the right concepts for each case. Dissolution of these concepts deprives the period of the right to further existence. >History/Adorno, >Concepts, >Texts/Adorno, >Theory change.
Meaning Change/Adorno: E.g. "general validity in contrast to the relative validity" "morality in contrast to intelligence." Even the concepts of the mind, the truth, even of the Enlightenment itself have become animistic magic. (Ricouer: "hermeneutics of suspicion").
>P. Ricoeur, >Mind, >Truth, >Hermeneutics.

Meaning Change/Theory Change/SchopenhauerVsFichte/Schopenhauer/Adorno: it is sometimes the case that strictly identical motifs assume completely different meanings. For example, Schopenhauer's philosophy of will is not so far away from the philosophy of action. Nevertheless, even the same concepts, for instance, the absolutely self-imposed principle, which in Fichte is called the subject, and in Schopenhauer will, mean in both truths exactly the opposite. Therefore all the categories that arise from it have a completely different meaning. >A. Schopenhauer, >J.G. Fichte.
XIII 237
Meaning Change/Theory Change/Adorno: To do justice to a thinker always means doing wrong to him at the same time. The philosophies require the reflections (...) so that they may come to their own right or possibly to their own wrong.

Myth Gadamer I 278
Myth/GadamerVsRomanticism/Gadamer: In truth, the precondition is the mysterious dark, in which lies a mythical collective consciousness that precedes all thinking, just as dogmatic-abstract as that of a state of perfection of completed enlightenment or that of absolute knowledge.
Cf. >Enlightenment/Romanticism, >Myth/Romanticism.
Primordial wisdom is only the counter-image of the "primordial dumb". All mythical consciousness has always been knowledge, and by knowing about divine powers, it goes beyond a mere trembling before power (if one should take such for the primordial stage)
I 279
but also beyond a collective life banished to magical rituals (as we find it for example in the early Orient). It knows about itself, and in this knowledge it is no longer simply beside itself(1). This is connected with the fact that the contrast between genuine mythical thinking and pseudo-mythical poetic thinking is also a romantic illusion based on a prejudice of the Enlightenment: namely that poetic action, because it is a creation of the free imagination, no longer has any part in the religious obligation of the myth.
1) Horkheimer and Adorno seem to me to be quite right with their analysis of the "Dialectic of Enlightenment" (even if I can see a lack of historical reflection, if not a confusion of Homer with Johann Heinrich Voss in the application of sociological terms as in Odysseus, as already criticized by Goethe). (GadamerVsHorkheimer, GadamerVsAdorno.)

Reason Horkheimer Habermas III 462
Reason/Horkheimer/Habermas: Horkheimer introduces instrumental reason as 'subjective reason' and contrasts it with 'objective reason'. >Objectivity, >Subjectivity, cf. >Intersubjectivity.
Habermas III 463
Objective Reason/Horkheimer: stands for the ontological thinking that advanced the rationalization of the world views that had understood the human world as part of a cosmological order. (1) The background for the modern history of consciousness are those metaphysical-religious worldviews from which Max Weber first read the process of disenchantment.
>Worldviews, >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." (2)
>Relativism.
Horkheimer/Habermas: the subjectivization of reason corresponds to the irrationalization of morality and art.
>Morals, >Art.
De Sade/Moral/Enlightenment/Adorno/Horkheimer: thesis in Horkheimer/Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment: even in the paradigmatic century of Enlightenment, the dissociation of reason and morality came to consciousness right up to the last consequences: one "did not pretend that formalistic reason was more closely related to morality than to immorality. (3)
>Enlightenment, >de Sade.
Art/Horkheimer/Habermas: Horkheimer asserts the same of modern art development: The dissociation of art
Habermas III 464
from reason makes works of art into cultural goods and their consumption into a series of random feelings that are separate from our real intentions and aspirations. (4) >Artworks.

Reification Lukács Habermas III 474
Reification/Lukács/Habermas: Lukács thesis: "in the structure of the relationship of goods (can) the archetype of all forms of representationalism and all corresponding forms of subjectivity be found in bourgeois society". (1) Habermas: Lukács uses the new Kantian expression "representational form" in a sense shaped by Dilthey as a historically created "form of existence or thought" that distinguishes the "totality of the stage of development of society as a whole".
>Neo-Kantianism, >W. Dilthey, >About Dilthey.
He understands the development of society as "the history of the uninterrupted transformation of the representational forms that shape people's existence".
LukácsVsHistorism/Habermas: Lukács does not, however, share the historicist view that the particularity of each unique culture is expressed in a representational form. The forms of representationalism convey "the confrontation of the human
Habermas III 475
with his/her environment, which determines the representationalism of his/her inner and outer life".(2) >Historism.
Def Reification/Lukács/Habermas: Reification is the peculiar assimilation of social relationships and experiences to things, i.e. to objects that we can perceive and manipulate. The three worlds (subjective, objective and social ((s) shared) world) are so miscoordinated in the social a priori of the living world that category errors are built into our understanding of interpersonal relationships and subjective experiences: we understand them in the form of things, as entities that belong to the objective world, although in reality they are components of our common social world or of our own subjective world.
>Objective world, >Subjective world, >Social world, >Life world.
Habermas: because understanding and comprehending are constitutive for the communicative handling itself, such a systematic misunderstanding affects the practice, not only the way of thinking but also the "way of being" of the subjects. It is the lifeworld itself that is "reified".
Habermas: Lukács sees the cause of this deformation in a
Habermas III 476
method of production that is based on wage labour and requires "becoming goods of a function of humans"(3).
Habermas III 489
AdornoVsLukács/HorkheimerVsLukács/Habermas: Horkheimer and Adorno shift the beginnings of reification in the dialectic of the Enlightenment back behind the capitalist beginning of modernity to the beginnings of the incarnation. >Dialectic of Enlightenment, >M. Horkheimer, >Th.W. Adorno.
The reason for this is that Lukác's theory of the unforeseen integration achievements of advanced capitalist societies has been denied.
>Society, >Capitalism.
