Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno who is an important representative of the first generation of Frankfurt School is one of the West renowned philosopher and esthetician in the 20th century. In his esthetics thought, art has the function which one kind saves similarly, and he the esthetic modernism stipulated saves one kind of type for the inner world, therefore some people called his esthetics for redeems esthetics. In the period Adorno lived, people underwent the trauma in the two world wars and the grieved suffering of Jew's extermination. Besides this, they also faced this so-called capitalistic "reconciliation". The existence situation of the contemporary became an important problem. Facing the 20th century, Adorno starts to closely examine: What is the civilizing history? When why the humanity did march into the civilized condition very fast falls actually in one new barbaric condition? The tragedy guides the Arab League multi-promises to propose in philosophy interrogating and torturing to the initiation Adorno considered that this resulted from that enlighten rationality, totality and identity suppressed non-identity all out. Adorno bravely blames and resists identity. In a word, Adorno builds his existence theory, from beginning to the end, with criticism about identity as the clue, and with resistance to identity as the striking topic in process of his thinking.his article thinks that Adorno's well-educated music edification in his childhood and his grieved memory of Jew being oppressed by Fascist in his middle age are his personal life background in which the non-identity philosophy thinking can be generated. He looked for the hope in here, he also coursed own ponder the cultural art domain. He looked for the hope in here, and he also coursed own ponder the cultural art domain. Modernism art, through showing pointless, does not there is not proper arrangement, lining truth content absurdly with art of reality.When the enlightening rationality moved toward the tool rationality, expansion of human subjectivity led to the object of control and domination. To enter the period of monopoly capitalism, the rise of cultural industries, has led to the evolution of art. Art become a vassal of the commodity economy and degenerated into the ideology of identity. Adorno believes that only art that has the power to save.
