This paper analyzes a dual relationship between Adorno and Durkheim: on the one hand, Adorno adopts Durkheim’s perspective on society, describing it as an obscure, opaque thing that individuals cannot understand by themselves; on the other, he tries to get out of the opacity that he recognizes as a structural moment of the society he lives in. This last point engages us in a discussion of the relationship between political sociology and philosophy of emancipation, which allows to study in a new perspective the only text Adorno published in his lifetime on Durkheim: his preface to Philosophy and Sociology, the critical violence of which is well known and often interpreted as a complete rejection of Durkheim’s sociology. The thesis of this article is that the conflict between Adorno and Durkheim is a political one and that the division between the two authors lies in their evaluation of the capacity of the modern capitalist society to produce out of itself common ideals that assure the justice of the actual social order.

政治批判：阿多诺论涂尔干

本文分析了阿多诺和涂尔干之间的双重关系：一方面，阿多诺采用涂尔干的社会视角，将其描述为个人无法理解的晦涩、不透明的事物；另一方面，他试图摆脱他认为是他所生活的社会的结构性时刻的不透明。 最后一点让我们讨论政治社会学与解放哲学之间的关系，这允许我们研究一个新的观点 阿多诺生前发表的关于涂尔干的唯一一本书：他的《哲学与社会学》序言，其中批判性的暴力是众所周知的，并且经常被解释为完全拒绝涂尔干的社会学。
