The image shows a cell phone and its relation to Lukac's concept of class consciousness is our lack of understanding regarding its relation to the means of production. The mobile phone serves as an intermediary source for communication, but its routine use has removed its noumena. A cell phone is made of materials that come from exploited peripheral countries. The consumer does not understand this relationship because his production markets its use as a commodity; this marketing creates a subjective perspective of the object. An object that has become part of our daily rituals embodies the false consciousness we experience in our daily lives. Lukacs provides a fascinating concept of mass manipulation through false consciousness. The inability to understand the relationship between commodities, history and its truth creates a sense of false consciousness. It is in this state of thought that material interests drive man's actions. Uniformity masks man's ability to consciously become aware of the effect of historical materialist forces. Instead of recognizing the object for what it is, our use as a commodity creates exploitation. Our ability to create history does not mean we understand it. Lukacs describes history as the irrational domination of blind forces, which cannot be understood rationally (Lukacs, 2). Critical theory underlies Lukac's explanation of class consciousness. In critical theory class consciousness can be described in the framework of the base influencing the superstructure. A change in the basis of will will eventually upset the pattern of the superstructure and historical forces will act accordingly. The subjective interest among the proletariat is significantly different from that… at the center of the paper… conservation is based on promoting salvation through the Church (Adorno, 146). The focused nature of the Enlightenment became fascist because of its desires for control. Knowledge that was once considered a tool has manifested itself as a formidable display of elite power.Louis AlthusserThis image shows an FIU logo symbolizing the praxis of Althusser's assertion that the education system serves as a state ideological apparatus. Schools play an important role in ideology because of its ability to manipulate society en masse. As for higher education, it serves to validate the competence of individuals and indoctrinate their ideology on its subjects. The influence of schools is notable due to its permanent nature. Schools also work with the government to provide an educational standard; and ultimately shapes how children are conditioned through interpellation.
