Marx et Adorno: la philosophie de l’histoire = Marx and Adorno: the philosophy of history

Abstract

The Frankfurt School increasingly withdraws from the theses of philosophy of history which were a kind of foundation for the critical theory and were based on the emancipatory power of reason inherent to the ideals of the bourgeois society. We shall try to show the oblitered assumption of these theses using Hegel’s dialectic of the servant and master and then why such theses are insufficient. Finally, we shall try to demonstrate that the opposite theoretical figuration can be find in Benjamin’s Ueber den Begriff der Geschichte. Moreover, we believe that the recovery of such foundation oblitered in the thesis of the philosophy of history determines the moral consideration of Haberma’s critical theory
