It highlights the existence of an auto-sustained autarkic system of 4 variables – reification, objectification, duplicity and habit - sustaining and leading to the fetishism of commodities. date: 2010-10-30 date_type: published publication: E-Logos Electronic Journal for Philosophy volume: 10 number: 7 publisher: University of Economics Prague pagerange: 1-9 refereed: TRUE referencetext: Adorno, T.
