Identity and Difference in a post-dialectical Theory
Résumé
How should we think of identity and difference in a post-dialectical way? Adorno is usually considered as a theoretician of otherness, whereby otherness is taken as the opposite to identity. I present in this paper the position of Adorno and the way he thought the topics of " identity " and " difference " in his 1961 Paris Lectures, those lectures given at the College de France which are sketches of his " Negative Dialectics ". Adorno's purpose is to criticize the main philosophical conception based on a philosophy of identity – in order to make clear its political implications. In the post-World War II situation, this political reflexion was connected with an educational project regarding the education of citizen in the time of late capitalism in order to avoid a relapse into barbarism.
