Synopsis Restoration of Reason by : Montague Brown

This book is a history of philosophy that is not a history of philosophy. Brown shows how major figures in modern philosophy have restricted or reduced reason to some one function. A surprising quartet of philosophers can help us to recover a fuller appreciation of reason, but reason finds its fullest realization in the ancient and mediaeval tradition of Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas. From this tradition, Brown makes the compelling case that reason's uses in speculative philosophy, in morality, and in aesthetics are irreducibly distinct yet the products of one human capacity. Like Gilson, Brown uses figures in the history of philosophy, not for the writing of history, but for the doing of philosophy."--Steven E. Baldner, St. Francis Xavier University.

Synopsis Critique of Instrumental Reason by : Max Horkheimer

These essays, written between 1949 and 1967, focus on a single theme: the triumph in the twentieth century of the state-bureaucratic apparatus and ‘instrumental reason’ and the concomitant liquidation of the individual and the basic social institutions and relationships associated with the individual.

Synopsis Adorno’s Rhinoceros by : Antonia Hofstätter

Throughout his work, the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno repeatedly invokes the rhinoceros. Taking its cue from one of these passages in Aesthetic Theory, 'So a rhinoceros, the mute animal, seems to say: I am a rhinoceros', this book explores the life of this animal in Adorno's texts, and articulates the nuanced interconnections between art, nature and critique in his thought. By thus illuminating key elements of Adorno's work, this volume reveals the invaluable contributions that this 'classical' thinker can make to our current reflections on the various pressing natural and political crises of our times.

Synopsis Eclipse of Reason by : Max Horkheimer

"Max Horkheimer (1895-1973) was a leading figure in The Frankfurt School, a renowned body of philosophers and social theorists, including Adorno and Marcuse, who examined critically the changes in and development of capitalist society. Much of what has become known as the New Left can be traced back to Horkheimer, his social philosophy and his analysis of contemporary culture." "First published in 1947 Eclipse of Reason is the most lucid and fundamental statement of the Critical Theory put forward by the Frankfurt School, surveying and demonstrating the gradual ascendancy of Reason in Western philosophy, its eventual total application to all spheres of life, and what he considers its present reified domination. It acts as a companion to the classic work that Horkheimer wrote with Theodor Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment."--BOOK JACKET.
