Cuerpo, naturaleza y rebelión: el componente somático en el pensamiento de Adorno y en la dialéctica negativa

Abstract

This paper aims to explore some of the links between Adorno's thought and its Negative Dialectic, withethe "place" assigned to the body and nature within the regime of experience/existence that characterizes affirmative/identity rationality in its most diverse manifestations and the different orders of the epistemic, ethics, aesthetics and even libidinal elements. Likewise, it aims to reconstruct that "place" through an immanent critique of Kantian idealism and Cartesian rationalism, in order to decipher the "somatic component" as a field of forces buried and guarded under a secret and paradoxical combination: human being as a "factor" of Nature that exceeds him beyond his will to dominate, but also as an (im) possible subject in the field of politics, that is to say, as hybris, or disproportion.
