The purpose of this thesis is to present the concept of an "authoritarian anthropological type" as discussed in "The Authoritarian Personality" of Theodor W. Adorno et.Al..This thesis argues that Adorno called upon Freudian metapsychological notions to compose an authoritarian anthropology and followed theories of the first generation of Critical Theory.Therefore, we develop dialectically the conceptions of "nature" and "history", so that anthropology as a human nature loses a "substantialist" and immutable connotation and gains a meaning of a critical socioeconomic diagnosis.The formation of an authoritarian typewhich avoids the contradictions of its own psycheis determined by an authoritarian capitalist environmentwhich avoids social contradictions through naturalizations.To defend it, we seek to counter Fromm and Adorno with respect to the different readings of Freudian psychoanalysis at the Institute for Social Research; to describe the anthropology exposed in "Dialectics of Enlightenment", book taken as a fundament for the development of "The Authoritarian Personality"; to understand some elements of the critique of political economy of Marx, Lukács, Sohn-Rethel, Pollock, and Horkheimer implied in the anthropology conception in question here; to analyze Adorno's "Idea of natural history" to develop a dialectic between "nature" and "history"; to approach the Adorno's studies on the radio and the text on "Martin Luther Thomas" to expose the authoritarian cultural climate determined by the cultural industry that influence the authoritarian anthropological type; to debate some of the contents presented in the chapters signed by Adorno in "The Authoritarian Personality"; and, finally, to contribute with a reading of the Freudian theory in regard to the formulation of some concepts related to the authoritarian typeas substitutive representation, drive object, narcissism, rationality, sadomasochism, paranoia
