Theodor Adorno, Minima moralia, Dialectic of Enlightenment, Critical theoryAbstract
Written in the period between the drafting and final publication of Dialectic of Enlightenment, the 153 aphorisms of Adorno's Minima moralia can be described, like the work co-authored with Horkheimer, as an investigation into the causes that led humanity to sink "into a new kind of barbarism." However, in Minima moralia this question is examined from a highly singular perspective and methodology. Adorno proposes nothing less then the translation of individual and subjective experience into a universal and objective form of knowledge.Downloads
