Research on the Late Philosophy of Adorno-From "Negative Dialectics" to the "Aesthetic Theory"

最初，我们研究阿多诺的晚期著作，如《美学理论》和《否定的辩证法》，与近年来出版的他在大学演讲的信件和手稿密切相关，这与我们正在进行的研究平行。我们最重要的结论是：他的“确定的否定”概念对于纳粹时代后德国建立一种新的民主社会理论和理解的重要性。与第一印象相反，他的作品不是精英化的。他的“深奥”风格意味着拒绝哲学的“工具化”，否定知识产品的意识形态作用。同样重要的是，我们可以在他的康德讲座中找到客观性的首要意义。阿多诺与海德格尔之间的同源性和区别性是不可否认的，他早期对专制人格的跨学科研究也具有持续的重要性。

Initially we researched the late books of Adorno like "Asthetische Theorie" and "Negative Dialektik" in the narrow connection with the letters and manuskripts for his lectures at the university which were published in the recent years, just parallel to our ongoing research. Our most important results are : the importance of his conception "defined negation" for the sake of a new theory and understanding of democratic society established in Germany after the Nazi-era. His writings are not elite oriented on the contrary to the first impressions. His esoteric style means a rejection of instumenalization of philosophy and negation of ideologic role of intellectual products. It was important also that we could find the meaning of the primacy of objectivity in his Kant-lectures. The homology and distinction between Adorno and Heidegger was inignorable as well as the continuous importance of his earlier jnterdisciplinary research on the autoritarian personality.
