| Abstract | "This volume offers a brilliant and timely engagement with the legacies of the Frankfurt School, reviving its ideals and philosophers to make them relevant in the context of digitalisation. The book brings back Frankfurt School philosophers to life and highlights the urgent need for critical thought in an era dominated by algorithmic control, surveillance capitalism, and digital ideology of capitalism. By reclaiming the radical edge of Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, and their contemporaries, this book not only dissects the contradictions of digital capitalism but also provides a philosophical framework for resistance and emancipation. An essential read for anyone seeking alternatives and aiming to navigateand challengethe forces shaping our digital world. Piyya Muhammad Rafi-Ul-Shan, Subject Lead and Senior Lecturer in Supply Chain Management & Organisational Behaviour, University for the Creative Arts, UK From Kant and Hegel to Habermas and Marx, radical philosophical transformations have consistently intersected with technological advancements throughout human history. This volume on the Dialectic of Digital Enlightenment, engages with AI-driven digitalisation to examine the transformation of human nature, society, the state, and governance through the philosophical perspectives of Kant, Hegel, Horkheimer, Adorno, Bloch, Benjamin, Fromm, Marcuse, Habermas, and Marx. It seeks to reclaim radical philosophy for our time and to liberate these European thinkers from the confines of Eurocentric knowledge traditions and their universalist claimsframeworks that, while dominating global discourse, paradoxically obscure the broader human relevance of these philosophers, whose insights speak profoundly to the shared conditions of humanity and the pursuit of its emancipation." -- Provided by publisher. |
