Theodor W. Adorno often made reference to Immanuel Kant’s famous essay on enlightenment. Although he denied that immaturity is self-incurred, the first section of this article will show that he adopted many of Kant’s ideas about maturity in his philosophically informed critique of monopoly conditions under late capitalism. The second section will explore Adorno’s claim that the educational system could foster maturity by encouraging critical reflection on the social conditions that have made us what we are. Finally, this article will demonstrate that Adorno links enlightenment to Kant’s idea of a realm of ends.

阿多诺、康德与启蒙

西奥多·W·阿多诺经常提到伊曼纽尔·康德关于启蒙的著名文章。尽管他否认不成熟是自己造成的，但本文的第一部分将表明，他在对晚期资本主义垄断条件的哲学批判中采纳了康德的许多关于成熟的观点。第二部分将探讨阿多诺的主张，即教育系统可以通过鼓励对使我们成为现在的社会条件进行批判性反思来促进成熟。最后，本文将证明阿多诺将启蒙与康德关于目的领域的思想联系起来。
