Uzmysłowienie wielości: odwrócony heglizm Theodora Adorno jako etyka i polityka przyjaźni
Eingedenken des Vielen: Adorno’s Inverted Hegelianism as an Ethics and Politics of Friendship

Summary/Abstract: Taking as my point of departure the indefinite location of the concept of friendship on the borderline of the realm of philosophical concepts as such and/or on the verge between ethics and politics, as well as the Aristotelian notion of friendship and Hegelian notion of Sittlichkeit, I try to show how this category can help us understand better the philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno – both his political diagnosis of late capitalism and his utopian ideal of reconciliation defined as Eingedenken des Vielen. Applying the concept of friendship to Adorno’s thought leads in turn to a new interpretation of this category as a critical non-concept which haunts the stability of the conceptual fields of ethics and politics and can be seen as a crucial tool in the struggle for the society in which, in Adorno’s words, we can „differ without fear”.
