Dialectics and the Fate of Contemporary Philosophy——A Comment on T. Adorno's Reinterpretation of Dialectics

Since the late 20th century, the philosophy development has witnessed a turning down the generalized identification and a turning to the diversified heterogeneity——a general tendency which exposes the essence and potency of dialectics. Within the interpreting framework of traditional philosophy, dialectics was formalized into a doctrine of general relationship and development of things, which crippled its profound meaning in the critique of ideology. In Adornos interpretation , dialectics is awareness of nonidentity throughout identification. In this way, philosophy has acquired a completely new self-understanding. Adornos interpretation is among the most powerful insight into dialectics, which responds adequately to Marx's famous idea of the critical nature of dialectics.
