A arte e o segundo giro copernicano na Filosofia de Theodor W. Adorno

Abstract

This dissertation deals with Theodor W. Adornos philosophical position concerning the grounding of philosophical knowledge and its relationship to aesthetics. For this purpose, it approachs this authors criticism to the philosophical positions that still depend on the truths concept of tradition as adequacy and hipostatize the realm of reflection, proposing a group of principles, concepts or axioms, as independent of the historically determined content and also seeks to ground such content in the aforementioned manner. To oppose to this way of dealing with knowledge and to obtain a kind of knowledge which be in intrinsic mediation with the content, the dissertation aims to demonstrate that Adorno proposes another knowledges model and that this model is only possible starting from the philosophical reflection about art. Key-words: grounding, knowledge, aesthetics, art.
