Summary/Abstract: This article is part of a larger project on the problem of anachronism in modern and contemporary human sciences. Assuming the possibility of something like ‘another science,’ Momro tries to work out an original concept of critical theory – one that would be founded not so much on the general assumptions that form the basis of theoretical analyses or cultural practices, but on a particular concept of time as well as on a cognitive relationship between the subject and the epistemological object. The best example for this kind of analysis are works by Theodor Adorno, especially his aesthetic analyses and the constellation of micrological analyses in his Minima Moralia.
