Theodor W. Adornos und Max Horkheimers Dialektik der Aufklärung tritt in einen Dialog mit den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika.

Die Dialektik der Aufklarung (1944) von Theodor W. Adorno und Max Horkheimer ist eine inzwischen zum Klassiker gewordene Krisenschrift. Gepragt durch europaische, amerikanische und judische Erfahrungen hat das Buch eine ambivalente Rezeption erfahren. Lange Zeit wurde das Werk kaum beachtet, bevor es in den Sechzigerjahren zu einem Schlusseltext der Neuen Linken wurde. Nur zogerlich entschieden sich die Autoren 1969 zu einer Wiederauflage. Heute steht die Schrift vornehmlich unter dem Verdikt einer pessimistischen Wende und der Abkehr vom materialistischen, interdisziplinaren Forschungsprogramm des fruhen Frankfurter Instituts fur Sozialforschung hin zu einer resignativen Naturgeschichte. Vor allem in den Vereinigten Staaten – dem Land, das die exilierten Kritischen Theoretiker nachhaltig gepragt hatte – stiess die Radikalitat des Buches eher auf Ablehnung. Bisher ist kaum versucht worden, die amerikanische Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte durch das Prisma von Adornos und Horkheimers Philosophischen Fragmenten hindurch zu betrachten und damit der amerikanischen Dialektik der Aufklarung auf die Spur zu kommen. Ausgehend von der Rezeptions- und Entstehungsgeschichte des Werks widmet sich der Sammelband diesem Vorhaben und vereint Beitrage aus der Philosophie, der Soziologie sowie der Geschichts- und Literaturwissenschaften. Die Amalgamierung von europaischen und amerikanischen Traditionsbestanden in der Kritischen Theorie wird dabei als Herausforderung und Potenzial zugleich verstanden werden: als Moglichkeit, Erkenntnisse uber die Neue und die Alte Welt zu erlangen.
