Excellent question. The main difference between Adorno and Foucault's =
views on Enlightenment is that Adorno sees Enlightenment as a dialectic =
that pushes us inexorably in the direction of an administered, =
anti-human, one-dimensional society, while Foucault endorses =
Enlightenment insofar as it promotes a critical analysis of the =
conditions and forces that make us up. The primary feature of =
Enlightenment for Adorno is *domination* -- of man over nature, of man =
over man. The primary feature of Enlightenment for Foucault, on the =
other hand, involves probing the boundaries of our current thrownness =
both to understand better what we are and to investigate the =
possibilities of becoming something else.
