| Totality, philosophy: is the entirety of the components of a domain. An entity that can be described by specifying the characteristics, properties, rules, possible states, the possible actions, possible changes etc. Statements about totalities are impossible if it is required that the standpoint for these statements would have to be localized both inside and outside of this totality. Since it is impossible to define a totality without a circle and the help of concepts from this totality itself, it is problematic to speak of a totality of the world. See also paradoxes, wholes, set theory, universal class, universal set, mereological sum, systems, exterior/interior._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Th.W. Adorno on Totality - Dictionary of Arguments

(Impromptus(1), p.22). >List of Reason, >Dialectics of Enlightenment, >Enlightenment/Adorno. Grenz I 113 Totality/Hegel/Adorno/AdornoVsHegel/Grenz: the negativity of the whole is expressed by Hegel as a positive totality according to Adorno. In this, Hegel's philosophy is an image, but a broken one. >G.W.F. Hegel. The structure of the blindness context is illustrated into that: 'mirror-inverted'. Grenz I 158 Totality/Adorno/Grenz: the concept of totality is ambivalent - on the one hand, it is a description of the real but false totality, on the other hand the idea of the correct one. >Negation/Adorno. Grenz I 130 Whole/Adorno/Grenz: ... the force effective in any single determination of the whole is not only its negation, but also the negative, untruth. >Truth/Adorno, >Truth content/Adorno. 1. Th. W. Adorno. Impromptus. Zweite Folge neu gedruckter musikalischer Aufsätze.
