  Abstract:   Enlightenment and Interculturality. The most influential legacy of the Enlightenment is the view of the human being as rational autonomous subject. This has been especially important in the development of human rights and the concept of individual freedom. Considering Horkheimer’s and Adorno’s critique of the authority implicit in the autonomy of the subject, I highlight plurality as also rooted in Enlightenment. If the ‘cultural industry’ is a consequence of Enlightenment, it can be shown that there are also concepts within Enlightenment, such as tolerance, which sustain the aim of interculturality. Emphasizing individual experience rather than the universal claim of reason, interculturality is highlighted as a phenomenon yet to be analyzed, which recognizes the plurality of cultures.

Keywords: Aufklärung, Interkulturalität, Kulturindustrie, Herrschaft, Pluralität, Adorno, Kant
