Adorno e a quebra do continuum da história

Abstract

This paper intends to present Theodor W. Adorno’s philosophy of history by the unfolding of continuum concept in the categories of proto-history, Calvary, ever-identical, self-destruction and redemption. Instead to dialogue with messianic currents of Judaism and Christianity, our intention is, through the philosophical tradition, raise the continuum to concept. This articulation does not mean that we want to counteract the theology, but has the pretension to present a closer interweaving between theology and philosophy. The thema probandum, the continuum has a double difficulty to overcome in this work: first, to emerge the continuum in Adorno’s work and then its internal consistency as a concept and ability to consolidate the philosophy of history against others concurrent positions while we establish the originality of Adorno, even compared to the authors that had a decisive influence on his thinking, in particular Walter Benjamin.
