Episode #113 ... The Frankfurt School pt. 6 - Art As A Tool For Liberation

Philosophize This!

NOTE

Art as a Catalyst for Consciousness Change

Historical cycles of oppression persist, often leading to a cycle of domination instead of true liberation. The aim should be to cultivate a society where liberation does not result in further oppression. Traditional political avenues for change are rendered ineffective by advanced monopoly capitalism, which co-opts and undermines genuine revolutionary potential. In this context, art emerges as a crucial tool for fostering awareness and shifting consciousness. While art may not directly transform the world, it has the capacity to influence the minds of those who hold the power to enact change, making it a vital resource amid the challenges posed by modern capitalism.
