Aesthetic-philosophical project in Adorno: articulations among the concepts of concrete, approximation and construction

Abstract

The Theodor Adorno’s Critical Theory offer a close relationship between philosophy and the development of formative experiences, constitutes an indubitable theoretical reference for understanding with is philosophically thinking in the so-called negative perspective. In this relation, the experience and aesthetic rationality delimit a new way to conceive reason and its moment in relation to objectiveness. This moment of the reason does not indicate appropriation but refers for a approximation and from this to the construction of meaning. The problematic that orientates this text enquires about how the concepts of concrete, approximation, and construction articulate in the development of formative experiences. Defending the hypothesis that from the articulation of this concepts the wealth constitutive of reality becomes to be manifested and learned, leading through the extension of experiences to the manifestation of the new and the construction of meaning. This conceptual constellation indicates the challenge to consider the objectiveness for beyond of the immediately given; also points to the sense that must assume the dialectic that generates approximation and for last, the path that help us in the task to comprehend the critical thinking of Theodor Adorno.
