Abstract

This essay focuses on fault lines and contradictions in author Theodor W. Adorno's theory and practice of immanent critique. Immanent criticism pursues the logic of its aporias, the insolubility of the task itself. In such antinomies criticism perceives those of society. A successful work, according to immanent criticism, is not one which resolves objective contradictions in a spurious harmony, but one which expresses the harmony negatively by embodying the contradictions. Confronted with this kind of work, the verdict mere ideology loses its meaning.
