Hegel, Adorno and the origins of immanent criticism

‘Immanent criticism' has been discussed by philosophers of quite different persuasions, working in separate areas and in different traditions of philosophy. Almost all of them agree on roughly the same story about its origins: It is that Hegel invented immanent criticism, that Marx later developed it, and that the various members of the Frankfurt School, particularly Adorno, refined it in various ways, and that they are all paradigmatic practitioners of immanent criticism. I call this the Continuity Thesis. There are four different claims that interest me. (i) Hegel is the originator of immanent criticism. (ii) Hegel's dialectical method is that of immanent criticism. (iii) Adorno practises immanent criticism and endorses the term as a description of his practice. (iv) Adorno's dialectical method is fundamentally Hegelian. In this article, I offer an account of immanent criticism, on the basis of which, I evaluate these four claims and argue that the Continuity Thesis should be rejected

Apuleius

Über die Magie ist die einzige erhaltene Gerichtsrede der Kaiserzeit. Apuleius verteidigt sich gegen die Anklage wegen Liebeszaubers und zeigt sich dabei als allseits gebildeter Philosoph und Kenner magischer Praktiken. Die begleitenden Essays beleuchten die Argumentationsstrategie, die rechtsgeschichtlichen Hintergründe, aber auch die Welt des Übersinnlichen bei Apuleius und die Stellung des zeitgenössischen Christentums zur Magie
