if you value the show as an educational resource and you want to be a part of keeping philosophy available for everybody out there for years to come,
support the show at patreon.com slash philosophize this.
Hope you love the show today.
So hypothetical situation.
Let's say you listen to the last five episodes on the Frankfurt School.
Let's say you took it upon yourself to do a little more research on your own.
And let's say you pulled up an overview of all the works Herbert Marcuse ever produced, what you would see.
And the supplies to many of the key players in the Frankfurt School at the time as well.
What you would see is a very clear,
repeated presence of books and essays concerned with the subject of art and aesthetics.
Now seeing that, it's gonna be kind of confusing at first.
Like, why would that be the case?
I mean, if the task of the Frankfurt School was to find out what went wrong during the thinking of the Enlightenment,
to examine the effects of advanced capitalism in the West,
to try to figure out why the revolution Marc's prophesies never came,
if that's your goal, why are you wasting even a second of your time talking about something like, you know,
the form of a piece of artwork, or how people and works of art interface with each other in the world?
Why are we talking about any of this stuff?
Now the extension to that.
