- Abstract
Max Horkheimer claims that the excessive use of instrumental reason not only affects the individuals, but also the institutions themselves. In this paper I will argue that an institution is more affected by the use of instrumental reason when the individuals are more involved with it. To do so, first, I will describe Horkheimer's account on instrumental reason for it is important to fix the concepts and distinguish Horkheimer's purposes from other authors or traditions that have studied the same phenomenon, such as Max Weber. Then I will explore the instrumentalization of the family according to Horkheimer and I will figure out if it can be compared to the process of rationalizations that happens in other contexts. Finally I will conclude that instrumental reason affects family in a greater degree that other social spheres due to the fact that family is where individuals are formed.
