O objetivo desta pesquisa é interpretar as relações entre os autores da primeira geração da teoria crítica - Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno e Herbert Marcuse - com a sociologia de Max Weber. Usualmente, elas são analisadas visando destacar as suas semelhanças e as suas continuidades. Todavia, para reconstruir a maneira pela qual esses frankfurtianos incorporaram certa temática weberiana, será necessário ressaltar as suas divergências e suas rupturas não apenas dos frankfurtianos com Weber, mas inclusive entre eles mesmos. Mais que uma simples operação de transposição conceitual, a apropriação crítica ao pensamento de Weber é ainda um eixo em torno do qual se pode interpretar aspectos particulares da teoria social de Horkheimer, de Adorno e de Marcuse Teoria crítica, Max Weber, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse / The main aim of this research is to study the relationship between the authors of the first generation of critical theory - Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno and Herbert Marcuse - with the sociology of Max Weber. Usually, they are analyzed in order to highlight their similarities and their continuities. However, to reconstruct the way in which these frankfurtians incorporated certain Weberian theme, is also necessary to highlight their differences and their breaks not only the frankfurtians with Weber, but even among themselves. More than a simple conceptual transposition, critical to the thought of Weber ownership is still an axis around which to interpret particular aspects of social theory Horkheimer, Adorno and Marcuse

Adorno and Max Horkheimer. After the exposure settings of Instrumental Reason and Cultural Industry, it aimed to show the conception of a Neopentecostal Cultural Industry in Brazilian religious. Facing the freedom and religious competition, Neopentecostal Cultural Industry enable itself as a tool intended for to awake in the masses will for acquisition of religious assets. In this way, demonstrated that people, who previously listed as audience, are provoked to live in constantly in function of consumption religious goods offered for Neopentecostal Cultural Industry. Finally, analyzed the manifestation of the Neopentecostal Cultural Industry in the religious space and time, thereby encouraging the supply and the demand for religious goods. / O presente trabalho analisa o neopentecostalismo a partir do pensamento dos frankfurtianos Theodor W. Adorno e Max Horkheimer. Após a exposição das definições de Razão Instrumental e de Indústria Cultural, procurou-se demonstrar a concepção de uma Indústria Cultural Neopentecostal no campo religioso brasileiro. Diante da liberdade e da concorrência religiosas, a Indústria Cultural Neopentecostal habilita-se como um instrumento destinado a despertar nas massas o desejo de aquisição de bens religiosos. Neste sentido, demonstrou-se que as pessoas, que previamente classificadas como público-alvo, são instigadas a viverem constantemente em função do consumo de bens religiosos oferecidos pela Indústria Cultural Neopentecostal. Por fim, analisou-se a manifestação da Indústria Cultural Neopentecostal no espaço e tempo religiosos, de modo a instigar a oferta e a procura de bens religiosos.

La notion philosophique de mimésis, perçue à travers Adomo et Horkheimer, nous permettra de comprendre l'échec du projet émancipateur de la raison dans l'histoire et l'aporie qui se pose lorsque l'homme emploie la ruse pour se constituer en sujet. Cette étude fera également ressortir le revers dialectique de la ruse hégélienne de la raison. Nous verrons que, poussé par la nécessité de conserver sa vie, l'homme s'empare du pouvoir originel de la nature par le biais de la représentation mimétique. S'il renverse l'imagination mythique par le savoir et développe une identité, la ruse systématise toutefois le principe de domination hérité des pratiques sacrificielles. Autrement dit, la raison reproduit le pouvoir qu'elle renverse tandis que le sujet intériorise le sacrifice. À certains égards, le processus auto-constitutif de la raison et du sujet se révèle alors autodestructeur.

A crise ambiental é um dos fenômenos de maior impacto social da contemporaneidade, e diante de sua dimensão emergiram diversas instituições políticas e sociais com o objetivo de contornar e superar as dificuldades impostas pela problemática ambiental. Em virtude desse quadro a presente dissertação busca investigar as origens da crise ambiental a partir da matriz teórica da primeira geração da Escola de Frankfurt – especificamente a partir da obra Dialética do esclarecimento de Theodor W. Adorno e Max Horkheimer. A escolha da perspectiva da Teoria Crítica leva em consideração uma posição holista e interdisciplinar que busca, em última instância, transcender a estreita visão dos institutos do Direito Ambiental como sendo os únicos instrumentos – para além do mercado verde – de mediação da relação entre homem e natureza. Destarte, o desenvolvimento de uma perspectiva filosófica a respeito das origens da crise ambiental contribui para se tomar consciência dos reais agentes causadores da crise e, por consequência, desenvolver instrumentos mais efetivos no seu controle. Para tanto, a metodologia adotada elegeu a pesquisa qualitativa, e como procedimento a revisão bibliográfica da obra Dialética do esclarecimento; além de uma ampla gama de comentadores e pesquisadores da área ambiental e jurídica. A pesquisa confirmou a hipótese de que a origem da crise ambiental repousa em uma crise epistemológica – originária do próprio medo do homem por toda alteridade e pelo princípio da identidade, que se cristaliza como razão instrumental. É em vista disso que o Direito Ambiental é redimensionado como um instrumento que, embora tenha vital importância para a regulação ambiental, não é em si suficiente para controlar a crise nem mesmo eliminá-la; o que necessitaria de uma revisão das próprias bases do pensamento esclarecido. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-04-25T13:07:35Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Moises Joao Rech.pdf: 2714546 bytes, checksum: 7166fcbe236375f1672ef8dc8e9fb2ae (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-04-25T13:07:35Z (GMT).

With this view, the present essay seeks to investigate the origins of the environmental crisis from the theoretical matrix of the first generation of the Frankfurt School - specifically from the work Dialectic of enlightenment by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer. The choice of the perspective of Critical Theory takes into account a holistic and interdisciplinary position that seeks, ultimately, to transcend the narrow views of the institutes of Environmental Law as the only instruments - in addition to the green market - to mediate the relationship between man and nature. Thus, the development of a philosophical perspective on the origins of the environmental crisis contributes to becoming aware of the real agents causing the crisis and, consequently, to develop more effective instruments in its control. For that, the adopted methodology chose the qualitative research, and as a procedure the bibliographical review of the work Dialectic of enlightenment; as well as a wide range of environmental and legal commentators and researchers. The research confirmed the hypothesis that the origin of the environmental crisis rests on an epistemological crisis - originated from man’s own fear for all otherness and the principle of identity, which crystallizes as an instrumental reason. It is in view of this that Environmental Law is re-dimensioned as an instrument that, while vital to environmental regulation, is not in itself enough to control or even eliminate the crisis; which would require a review of the very foundations of enlightened thinking.

Max Horkheimer’s mature works on theology and Schopenhauerian metaphysics have been portrayed by subsequent critical theorists as an illicit regression from his earlier social theory in a two-fold sense. First, his concern to reflect on empirical experience is replaced with speculation regarding intelligible concepts, i.e. concepts that do not arise from observation on the basis of sense-intuition but are rather products of “pure” reason (God) or the imagination (Schopenhauer’s will). Second, his advocacy of the Enlightenment as an emancipatory political project is replaced by its skeptical critique. I argue that this consensus radically misunderstands the concerns animating the late Horkheimer insofar as his reflections on intelligible concepts are both intimately related to a continuing concern with empirical inquiry, as well as an outworking of his commitment to the realization of the Enlightenment. The argument is presented in three related movements. In the first, I interpret Horkheimer’s oeuvre in terms of his pervasive interest in developing a materialist logic. I begin by outlining his early understanding of thought as a form of inquiry for embodied social subjects (chapter 1), before noting how, in his mature theorizing, this account serves as a basis for a presentation of the relationship between various kinds of inquiry and the practice of social critique (chapter 2). In the second, I contend that Horkheimer’s critique of instrumental reason is best understood as congruent with this materialist logic, not as a speculative departure from an earlier concern with empirical inquiry. I begin by examining Horkheimer’s empirical analysis of how historical changes in the basic institutions defining political economy in modern life affect the reasoning habits of subjects (chapter 3). I then turn to his diagnosis of the way such changes affect the selfunderstanding of modern subjects, leading to a pervasive form of alienation (chapter 4). In the final movement, I present Horkheimer’s turn to theological concepts of the intelligible as a therapeutic response to this alienation. First, I examine his understanding of the content of theological concepts as well as how such concepts may be preserved in a form appropriate to modern life (chapter 5), and conclude by illustrating his own attempt at such a retrieval in his late reflections on the Jewish liturgy (chapter 6). In the conclusion, I note that this interpretation offers a constructive challenge to philosophers concerned with the tradition of critical theory. On the one hand, Horkheimer articulates what would be required for the fulfillment of the Enlightenment project in terms critical theorists will recognize as their own, by offering an account of the social practices that are necessary for the self-determination of the subject. Yet his presentation contests a fundamental axiom of such theorists regarding the role intelligible concepts ought to play in seeking this goal. Horkheimer defends an account of the significance of the liturgy for practices of reasoning that is quiet foreign to such theorists. Instead of setting liturgical reasoning over against a militantly “secular” Enlightenment, he demonstrates that such reasoning is integral to its fulfillment.

Why does mass-violence happen at all? This paper takes the first steps to establish a model to answer this question and explain extreme mass-violence as a phenomenon. This paper seeks to fill a gap in the field of research, in which models exist to explain the phenomenon of violence, with cases of genocide being seen as problems or exceptions, and as such researched as individual cases rather than as part of a wider phenomenon. This paper uses a selected part of the writings of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer to establish the basis for a model to explain extreme-cases of mass-violence. The Five-Pillar Model includes 5 social elements - (1) Culture Industry (2) Mass-Media (3) Propaganda (4) Dehumanization (5) Ideological Awareness. When these pillars all reach a high enough level of severity, conditions enable elites to use scapegoating - to divert revolutionary attention to a specific puppet group, resulting in extreme mass-violence. The Five-Pillar Model is then used to analyze an empirical case - Cambodia 1975-1979 and shows how these pillars all existed in an extreme form in that case. This paper presents scapegoating as a possible explanation for the Cambodian case.

Our work joins forces in the attempt to understand Horkheimer's early critical theory named as interdisciplinary materialism. To that extent, we have undertaken a metatheoretical approach in order to demonstrate two main aspects from Horkheimer theory which we came to realize: the centrality of the interdisciplinary research program which was supposed to integrate empirical research and philosophy, on the one hand, and the form by which his approach was an outcome both from the tasks that stems from social reality and from the metacritical approach that he undertook upon several theories, on the other. Our effort was then focused on analyzing metatheoretically the published papers of Horkheimer and to reintroduce it as a unified whole, redeeming the continuity of his writings and the before mentioned aspects. / Os primeiros trabalhos de Max Horkheimer atra?ram recentemente a aten??o de muitos estudiosos, os quais estavam ansiosos para publicar a sua compreens?o sobre o assunto. O nosso trabalho une for?as nesta empreitada que busca compreender a primeva teoria cr?tica de Horkheimer denominada como materialismo interdisciplinar. Nesta medida, assumimos uma abordagem metate?rica de modo a demonstrar dois aspectos principais da teoria de Horkheimer, os quais viemos a constatar: a centralidade do programa de pesquisa interdisciplinar, o qual supostamente deveria integrar pesquisa emp?rica e filosofia, por um lado, e a forma pela qual sua teoria figurava como um resultado tanto das tarefas que surgem em determinado momento hist?rico na realidade social quanto da abordagem metacr?tica que ele desenvolveu sobre diversas teorias, por outro. Nosso objetivo consiste, portanto, na empreitada de analisar metateoricamente os artigos publicados por Horkheimer e reapresent?-los como um todo unificado, resgatando a continuidade de seus escritos e os aspectos mencionados.
