The search undertaken aims to analyze the concept of the tragic according to the perspective
of the authors Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. The study has as reference the work
Dialectics of Enlightenment, whose theory is absolutely relevant to the interpretation of the
history of reason, as well as the context and the human condition in current society.
Therefore, the analysis intends to understand the perspectives of Adorno and Horkheimer
when they analyze the absence of tragic, assuming that the process of clarification was the
main reason that led to the loss of tragicity in the contemporary period. For this, it is
necessary to understand the relationship between myth and tragedy in the classical period as
an embryonic moment of Greek tragedies and the basis of tragic thought. After that, it intends
to analyze the clarification process more specifically from the dialectical clash between the
Enlightenment thought of Immanuel Kant and the critical theory of Adorno and Horkheimer,
making it possible, subsequently, to understand the relationship between clarification and
myth. about the operators of the Culture Industry and their conclusions for the spectator. In
this way, the clarification shows that its will not only be the main cause of the cancellation of
the tragic in the contemporary world, however, especially, it also highlights the cancellation
of the person himself.
