Abstract
The aim of this work is to review critically Horkheimer and Adorno's conceptualization of the process of Enlightenment, that is, to offer an analysis of the concept of enlightened reason that is in the core of the issue. The concept of reason (rationality) is closely linked to values of great interest to mankind: freedom, justice and solidarity. For Horkheimer and Adorno, these values are definitely at stake, and that is our main interest to examine the DE.
Keywords: enlightened reason, disenchanment, demythologization, freedom, dominion
