Adorno discussed everything, including religion, within the framework of Western Marxism, which had reactivated the philosophical aspects of Marx's work only at the high price of regression into Hegelian idealism. It is thus not surprising that he returned to Hegel's philosophy of religion. Yet, while Hegel avoided discussing dissonances in religious reality in the context of declining Western Civilization, Adorno emphasized them. He continued Hegel's analysis of the dichotomy between religious and secular consciousness, but whereas the purpose of Hegel's philosophy of religion was to reconcile religion and reason, revelation and enlightenment, salvation and emancipation, Adorno sought to differentiate them
