Th. W. Adorno y la praxis necesaria. Prolegómenos a una propuesta de ética negativa

Abstract

In the search after an ethics for our time, the author goes to Adorno's work to examinethe dialectic relationsship between praxis and theory, and asserts that this new concept ofpraxis can lead us to an ethics, which would be more critical than the majority of morals,constituted only by a system of norms. The author agrees with Adorno's conception aboutthe place of the subject in the society, which pretends to make this subject conscious ofhis capacities, but also of his limits and his lack of freedom. It allows Adorno to give validityto the intent of right life of the modern subject only in his problenlaticity and fragility.
