Part 2 (The Backroom), on The Possibility of Overcoming Myth is available exclusively on Patreon for 1Dime Patrons: https://www.patreon.com/OneDime

This week's episode is all about the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory and the classic book "Dialectic of Enlightenment" By Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. For this installment of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Mike Watson, a professor, writer, and co-founder of Revol Press.

We discuss the significance of 'Dialectic of the Enlightenment' and break down its key themes, not just focusing on the famous "Culture Industry" essay but also the other crucial parts of myth, The Odyssey, the concept of Enlightenment, Science, Reason, Technology, and the domination of nature.

Our conversation delves into the pervasive influence of Enlightenment thinking on modern society, critiquing its tendency towards rationalization and its paradoxical return to myth. We explore Adorno's concepts of identity thinking, mythical thinking, and "negative dialectics."
