A Study Of The Relationship Between Adorno's "Enlightenment Dialectics" And "Aesthetic Thoughts"

"Enlightenment Dialectics''is one of Adorno's representative philosophical works."Aesthetic Theory" is Adorno's main aesthetic work."Enlightenment Dialectics" is the key text to understand "Aesthetic Theory",Adorno's "Aesthetic Theory" It is his concrete interpretation of the "enlightenment dialectics" in the field of aesthetics.It is a kind of sustenance and hope that Adorno regains the"enlightenment spirit" lost in the development process of "enlightenment rationality".Adorno's "enlightenment dialectics "produces a political background that is totalitarianism and anti-Semitism.This sharp influence on Adorno's thoughts and thorough dialectical thinking,including the content of Adorno's doctrine itself.The tradition of the "critical theory" of the Frankfurt School itself has also made Adorno's doctrine a thorough and root-seeking critical consciousness.In the Enlightenment Dialectics,Adorno focuses on the relationship between enlightenment and mythology,enlightenment and morality,enlightenment and anti-Semitism.Adorno's "enlightenment dialectics" involves the "historical" and "theory" of enlightenment.The problem of confrontation between sex and the important issues of the enlightenment's "perceptual world"and "rational world",enlightenment and totalitarianism,enlightenment"universality" and "individuality",Adorno's views on these issues Inevitably affect his views on aesthetics.The influence of Adorno's "Enlightenment Dialectics" on his "aesthetic theory" comes down to two aspects:one is the negative aesthetic view,Adorno believes that the reason why the enlightenment went to the opposite side is the way of thinking of "identity" The resulting general,inevitable affirmation of the individual's self-holding.Thus,Adorno gives his"Aesthetic Theory" a"negative"from form to content,which is mainly reflected in the constellation expression style of Adorno's "Aesthetic Theory" writing form,criticism of cultural industry,and On the negation of traditional aesthetics theory,the negation of traditional aesthetics includes the negation of philosophical aesthetics and empirical aesthetics,the reaffirmation of "natural beauty" and"ugliness",the important aesthetic concepts of "genius" and "ingenuity".Negative.The second is the self-denial of aesthetics and art.Adorno's"enlightenment spirit "itself is difficult to self-sustain.Therefore,Adorno's aesthetic theory as a maintenance of the lost enlightenment spirit itself also faces a series of flaws.This is mainly manifested in Adorno's "art" inevitably goes to the discussion of the subjective paradox in"anti-art",artistic creation and artistic appreciation,the "riddle" traits and the truth content of art.Politics,philosophy,and morality are closely related organic systems in Adorno's entire ideology.Adorno's "enlightenment dialectics" and "aesthetic theory" are the essence of Adorno's relationship between philosophy,politics,and morality.A discussion,in Adorno's view,the development of the Enlightenment will inevitably lead to the further expansion of secularization,bringing political totalitarianism and anti-Semitism,and these mean that people become the starting point of all behavioral principles,humanity re-Being ponded and defined,the traditional moral system faces disintegration and collapse.Adorno's aesthetic theory has a strong philosophical color and a critique of social reality,reflecting the tendency to communicate rational cognition and moral will with aesthetic judgment.This is the cognition of human after Kant's Aesthetic Judgment The further discussion of the relationship between rationality,aesthetic judgment,and moral will,along with Adorno's prediction that art is inevitably dying,Adorno's?attempt to communicate with the three was also forced to go bankrupt.Nevertheless,adorno's exploration of enlightenment,the relationship between enlightenment,aesthetics and morality,still provides valuable thinking for the later studies on relevant issues.
