Subject: AUT: capitalism and rationality


Capitalism promotes a certain type of rationality
(instrumental rationality), however I would argue,
that at the same time, capitalism also promotes
irrationality (New Age, fundementalism, some pomo
etc), and in the cultural sphere (Madonna and the
Kabbala, Sixth Sense). Isn't there a contradiction
between the first goal of rationality and the
promotion of irrationality?
