Understandably, this essay aims at providing a theoretical review of the way in which this global event unfolds. A specific Olympic example is being mentioned only when it is relevant to this theoretical consideration. In this respect, it may be useful to introduce the key concepts within Frankfurt School's critical theory at some length before discussing a sociological aspect of the Olympic evolution.

In two sections the author outlines the major features of modernity and its consequences in relation to the dialectic of enlightenment. Then, it is considered how the logic of modemity is demonsfiated through the Olympic Games. The next section provides the critical reading of commercialised and rationalised Olympic Games with reference to the global culture industry.
After this, the author critically evaluates the fundamental principles of the Olympism. This chapter finally concludes that the degenerative effect of the dialectic of enlightenment becomes more evident in the Olympic Games in the late modern global society.
