The Dialectic of Progress and the Cultivation of Resistance in Critical Social Theory
Beginning with the influential discussion of the dialectic of progress found in Amy Allen’s The End of Progress, this paper outlines some difficulties encountered by critical theories of normative justification drawing on the early Frankfurt School. Characterizing Adorno and Horkheimer’s critical social theory as a dialectical reflection eschewing questions of normative foundations, I relate their well-known treatment of the dialectic of enlighte…
Interview with Banu Bargu on Disembodiment
Method and its other
This paper reads Adorno’s engagement with Husserlian phenomenology as a resource for recent discussions on phenomenology and social critique. Transcendental phenomenology’s inability to develop an adequate account of society, according to Adorno, comes from its methodological compulsion to ground this knowledge in first principles. This leads it to produce a socially necessary illusion of society as a harmonious community of monads. If this ‘firs…
Climate Change and the Irrational Society
This essay considers the catastrophe of anthropogenic climate change in relation to two possible critical-theoretic dispositions. The first, represented by an emblematic passage from Adorno, retains the hope for the realization of a “rational society.” The second, represented by a complementary passage from Foucault, enjoins critical theory to abandon any ambition toward criticizing or transforming society at a totalizing level. We argue that the…
Love, Mourning, and the Speculative Philosophy of Praxis
Violence, Education, and the Tradition of the Oppressed in Benjamin and Du Bois
This paper discusses two thinkers who locate the possibility of revolutionary historical change in political projects oriented toward the formation of subjects and cultivation of sensibility. I begin by considering the relationship between historical violence and education in the works of Walter Benjamin. After introducing the provocative association of education with divine violence found in “Toward the Critique of Violence,” I expand on Benjami…
The critique of social reason in the Popper–Adorno debate
This article examines the differences and affinities between Karl Popper's critical rationalism and Theodor Adorno's critical theory through renewed attention to the original documents of their 1961 debate. While commentaries often describe the Popper–Adorno encounter as a theoretical disappointment, I reveal a confrontation between conceptually opposed programs of social research. Though both theorists are committed to critique as a political an…
The sociologist of knowledge in the positivism dispute
This paper studies the conflict between critical rationalism and critical theory in Karl Popper and Theodor Adorno’s 1961 debate by analyzing their shared rejection of Karl Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge. Despite the divergences in their respective projects of critical social research, Popper and Adorno agree that Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge is uncritical. By investigating their respective assessments of this research programme I reveal …
