This lecture or discussion compares Adorno's 1931 lecture, "The Actuality of Philosophy," with Horkheimer's 1938 essay, "Traditional and Critical Theory." Honneth is the guest and Harcourt provides the intro, commentary and questions. Harcourt raises the question of "reading" because Honneth describes different ways of reading text, i.e. dialogically, ideologically, instrumentally, etc. Honneth concludes by supporting Adorno over Horkheimer, the latter being too negative in his criticism of instrumental reason and positivism! Honneth presents differences of interpretation in the situation or context of reading the 'Dialectic of Enlightenment' as either a Horkhiemerian reading or an Adornoian reading.
At 1:26:00 there is mention of the intention of the naming power to transform or more like create the full imagination of “what’s going on” per a given situation. Almost like making a fictional person who is the ideal version of something and then everything gets put on a scale to this but without the name, it becomes extremely difficult to a create change in the world. Anyway the man in black said, they had difficulty having a practical example of this. Which left me confused. Wasn’t this one of the major tactics used in the women’s movement? (Not to say it’s over but one of the unifying things that enabled discussion thus enabling action-was only a factor but a key one) I’ve read so little of these people but I’m certain that I’ve read enough to know I know nothing, so do take what I have to say with a grain of salt but with the regards to high philosophers and what I’m picking up is that they are dealing with the same ideological issues as the common person but because it is being produced through a lens of a specialty and not derived through commonality that whatever gets produced in the theory industry is useless to the person who is the basic moving part of societal changes. Why Marx and Engel were effective in innovating change, why the women’s movement works and is working and why Kant, Hegel, Adorno don’t really get the job done? Bc they themselves are not interested in it?

All these intellectuals do is talk. They analyze and theorize their whole lives, but they never actually engage in any real practical political activity. Just a lot of hot air.
Pff. Considering neither self organised activism nor party politics is critical enough to actually make real difference maybe what we really need is more proper critique of political activity itself
That's not fair. Bernard Harcourt, the man in black, is a law professor & death penalty lawyer, actively and self-consciously engaged in politics and justice. He even wrote a great book entitled Critique & Praxis on critique through action.

Thank you
At 11:10 the guy in the white shirt starts talking. Cuz the introduction was more-or-less painful.

THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING THIS INSIGHTFUL PRESENTATION
Hello! *Nietzsche 9/13: Michel Foucault* is no longer available on your website. Is there anywhere one can access it?

Lol, yes...the auto-generated subtitles are both confusing to try to read/follow, but worse they are incorrect.

Unreflective action is no different than reinventing a shitty wheel.

Intellectual cosplay from the guy dressed as a wizard. If these texts are important, work to clarify and not obscure them.
the marxist density here is quite .. demanding
None of this is philosophical ;there is no enlightenment . Why are our kids learning this negative word salad instead of acquiring skills ?
What the fuck are you talking about
"Acquiring skills"... What are skills to you? Why exactly makes you the judge of skills?
