MORENO, MARÍA RITA. Theodore Adorno and the problem of modern rationality: germinal edges of a critical concern. Universum [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.1, pp.314-339. ISSN 0718-2376.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-23762020000100314.

Theodor Adorno's thinking places the core of his concerns in the field of European modernity. The entire texture of his reflections offers several traces and opens up different paths from which to approach the complex called «modernity», understood as a historical time characterized by crucial contradictions of a state of culture and society. For this reason, among the materialistic criticism of modern rationality, stands out Adorno's philosophy for its relevance.

Thus, the aim of this paper is to research the cartography of the different theoretical aspects that define the philosophical activity of Germany during the first decades of the 20th century carried out by this thinker in order to make a diagnosis to guide his reflections. Understanding how Adorno interprets the state of philosophical rationality at the dawn of the 20th century constitutes an unavoidable moment when it comes to capturing some of the fundamental concerns of his thought modernity.

Palabras clave : Theodor Adorno; modernity; reason; critique; philosophical rationality.
