Tuomas Vainio

Dialectic of Postmodernism and its Derivates Part II Tuomas Vainio

Dialectic of Enlightenment by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer is without any undue credit the fundamental basis of the myriad of world-views that define the 20th and 21st century political and ideological left in the Western-cultural hemisphere. Upon reading the Dialectic of Enlightenment it became clear to me that the views of the modern left cannot be correctly understood without first reading Dialectic of Enlightenment, and what I offer you here is the second part of a work that argues against this Dialectic of Enlightenment, and by doing so every manifestation of the 20th and 21st century left-wing ideologies. It is my defence for the works of ancient Homer, from the post-modernist attempt at re-defining the primary aspects of the story into what those were not, and my attempt to show that the inherent errors found in the work of Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer are not only grievous but undeniable. The two respective gentlement have not understood the works of Homer, and therefore, their conclusions are at best lurid and false.
