The Nature of Subjectivity. Some Remarks on Adorno's Thinking - This paper offers a careful reading of Adorno’s work in order to clarify the sense and meaning of the mutual dependence of body and soul in his thinking. The mind/body relationship always occurs when Adorno describes the totality of man, not just the subject as a cognitive matter, but also as a bodily, sensitive and sensual subject. This image of the human as a living being has been a focus of Adorno’s philosophy, and represents a permanent warning for philosophical research, recalling its fragility and its proximity to life.
