Th.W. Adorno on Materialism - Dictionary of Arguments
Grenz I 116 Materialism/Adorno/Grenz: Thesis: Materialism would be secularized theology. BlochVsAdorno/Grenz: Bloch has attacked this very sharply.(1) >Theology, >History/Adorno. Grenz I 127 Dialectical Materialism/Alfred Schmidt/Grenz: "Like all materialisms, the dialectically one recognizes that the laws and movements of external nature exist independently and outside any consciousness. This in-itself, beomes however, [and thus the dialectic modifies the general materialism] only relevant insofar as it becomes a for-us, that is, insofar as nature is involved in human-social purposes."(2) >Dialectic, >Laws of nature, >Relevance. 1. E. Bloch, Das Prinzip Hoffnung III p. 1602ff. 2. A. Schmidt Der Begriff der Natur, p. 151. --- Adorno XIII 171 Materialism/Adorno: materialism has a certain trait of the polemic, which differs fundamentally from the affirmative trait of all idealistic philosophies. XIII 174 It is the attitude which opposes naturalness to every manifestation of the mind and ultimately leads to represent the necessity of living as that which decides at all. XIII 175 He does not only recourse to the subject through the recognition and through reality constituted through recognition, but he refers directly to reality itself from the protest against the illusionary moment in the mind. XIII 219 Materialism/Adorno: in his monistic as well as in his Marxist-dialectical form, he placed the concept of development in the center, for obvious anti-theological reasons. If neither a creatio ex nihilo nor an eternally self-identical and unchanging being is accepted, the concept of development receives a strong accent. This is surprisingly also found in > Epicurus._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
