Answer

The "Dialectic of Enlightenment" was published in 1947, a notable work by the renowned philosophers Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno. This seminal text presents a critical analysis of the relationship between reason, progress, and the Enlightenment project. Horkheimer and Adorno argue that the Enlightenment's emphasis on rational thought and scientific progress has led to a society that suppresses individuality and promotes domination, ultimately contributing to the rise of totalitarianism.
