Rahel Jaeggi, « Une critique des formes de vie est-elle possible ? Le négativisme éthique d'Adorno dans Minima Moralia : Traduit de l'allemand par Aurélien Berlan », Actuel Marx, ID : 10670/1.mm1m0k
This article reads Adornos's Minima Moralia as an ethical critique of capitalism as a form of life. Negativistic in his approach Adorno reflects, at the same time, on the difficulty of establishing a positive standard for this critique. Reading Minima Moralia through the lenses of the contemporary debate I hold that his approach undermines the alternative between liberal abstinence towards ethical questions and paternalistic theories of the good life in a fruitful way.
