CARBONE, Raffaele. The Contradictions of Bourgeois Philosophy and Modern Reason in Lukács and Horkheimer. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.81, pp.1547-1566.  Epub Dec 31, 2023. ISSN 1982-596X.  https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v37n81a2023-70311.

Lukács and Horkheimer analyse the tensions and contradictions of European society insofar as they are reflected in the philosophical theories elaborated by the bourgeois thinkers of the modern era: in this field, these practical contradictions are reflected in a conceptual opposition between binomials such as subject/object, phenomenon/thing-in-itself, necessity/freedom, etc. By addressing the question of the influence of History and Class Consciousness (1923) on Horkheimer’s essays of the 1920s and 1930s, this article aims to compare the respective theoretical positions of the two authors on bourgeois thought and its intertwining with the transformations of modern capitalist society.

Keywords : Bourgeois Society; Contradictions; Dualisms; Modern Philosophy; Reason; Theory.
