In this article I start from the reflection on the relationship between the abyss of Theodor Adorno's philosophy (his confinement in the Grand Hotel Abgrund, according to Georg Lukács) and the utopian temper that inhabits it in a spectral way. Specifically, I try to show that the Adornian philo...

description In this article I start from the reflection on the relationship between the abyss of Theodor Adorno's philosophy (his confinement in the Grand Hotel Abgrund, according to Georg Lukács) and the utopian temper that inhabits it in a spectral way. Specifically, I try to show that the Adornian philosophy, far from being a merely reactive or impotently resigned thought, constitutes, instead, a theory that fights not to resign the power of reason while criticizing modern reason without hesitation. To this end, first of all, I characterize the abyss of modernity as a fissure caused by the contradiction of two vectors, one positive and the other negative. Secondly, I address the expression of that fracture in the pair of opposites subject-object. Next, I indicate that Adorno's analysis of the subject-object pair uncovers an abysmal negativity, which can be approached as a divergent fold of modernity. From that point, finally, I argue around a negative utopianism as the abysmal axis of Adornian philosophy. Thus, I hope to show that the negative pull of modernity modulates Adorno's critical theory as a creative power that aspires to imagine an undamaged life.
