Abstract

Frankfurt school is the most important school of cultural critical theory since the 20th century. It is deeply influenced by Marxism, but it shows different research orientations and understanding of the real society. This paper combs and summarizes the views of the three most influential thinkers of Frankfurt school on how treats modernity, Adorno, Horkheimer and Marcuse. Their representative works are Culture Industry, One Dimension of Man, and Authoritarian Personality. Through the observation and analysis of modern social media, this paper is committed to discussing a topic, that is, whether we live in a society without opposition. This paper holds that although the Frankfurt School believes that the ideology of society and people is mainly controlled by rulers, the development and popularization of modern social media have not dispelled the opposition of society, and many people are still taking action to solve social problems. The lack of opposition in modern society is also related to people's definition and understanding of “opposition”. This paper will be beneficial to provide new thinking for the current modernity research.
