Sommario/riassunto

This work analyses the implications of Adorno's demand that the task of critical thinking be to imagine a mode of being in the world that occurs in and through a language that has liberated itself from the spell



of an alleged historical and political inevitability, what he once tellingly called a 'language without soil'.
