Summary/Abstract: The materialism in Theodor Adorno's philosophy is a critical response to idealism, positioning materialism not as a strict opposition but as a corrective to idealism's abstraction, especially its detachment from the realities of suffering and the human condition. Adorno critiques the philosophical tradition that ignores the embodied experiences of pain and pleasure, insisting that materialism acknowledges these physical and existential realities, positioning the material world as fundamental to understanding the human subject. In his view, materialism, particularly in its negative dialectical form, disrupts the idealist framework and highlights the critical role of suffering in philosophical inquiry, rejecting the illusion of spiritual transcendence in favor of a philosophy grounded in lived experience.
