Subjectivity and techno-science in Theodor Adorno

Annales Philosophici 5:7-28 (2012)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

By turning Marxist analysis from the critique of political economy towards the critique of techno-scientific society, Theodor Adorno also engages in a broader philosophical enterprise of unveiling the reification of Western subjectivity. Against the abstractness of techno-science and subjectivity, Adorno seems to offer the alternative of, what we would like to call, an embodied virtual. In other words, Adorno rethinks the Kantian autonomy of an enlightened transcendental subject as an embodied utopia oriented towards the future activation of repressed historical possibilities.
