The Frankfort School Is Not Saying That We Should Control Nature, Just Because They Aim to Control Nature
The lives we live are, without question, weigh better than the peasant in the feudal system, mostly because of enlightenment style thinking. What i'm calling for is for us to be more self aware of the natural destination we arrive at when we use reason to harness control of nature. So far, the frankfort school calls traditional theory. The maxim that everyone in academia repeats ad nauseum is that traditional theory aims to understand and control. Critical theory aims to liberate people from the necessary effects of controlling nature and making the world a better place.
