A Crise da Razão em Adorno

Abstract

The aim of that work is to demonstrate how The Crisis of Reason in Adorno occurs. First of all, we verify the conception of the object in Adorno when he give the primacy to the object including the subject like a part of that. The adornian criticism , in that sense, goes against the society controlled by the capital that drain in principle of the identity, that is, every thought has to identify a being of the real according to the interests of capitalism. The capital through the principle of the identity would hide the existent social contradictions among the private individuals in order to hide its true face of a system of the contradictions. Hiding the contradictions is an element of the game of the domination of the capitalist system. The domination exerted by the capital would be an heirdom of the ancient mythic form of the domination according to Adorno. Man would have dissolved the system of the domination of the ancient myth that is the system of the natural domination that the myth used to represent. The humanity destroyed the ancient myth but racionalized its form of domination that it is manifested in the ferocious dominion about the nature and the own man that Adorno names the instrumental reason.
