About the Book

Theodor Adorno's and Michel Foucault's works that aims to comparatively assess the explanatory and anticipatory reconstructive potential of their common attempt to elaborate a critico-theoretical account of modern Western society, with a view to showing the compatibility of their perspectives.


The thesis is divided into five chapters. Discussing Adorno's picture of the exchange society and Foucault's early analytics of power, Chapter 1 investigates their complementary claims about the disciplinary construction of modern individuals, while examining the role of scientific and ideological discourses in this process. After clarifying the connection they establish between capitalism and modern biopower, Chapter 2 shows that the relevance of Adorno's insights remains largely confined to the 20th century welfare state, whereas Foucault's later inquiries present an illuminating exposition of the political rationality marking the contemporary forms of neoliberal government. Chapter 3 engages in an overdue comparison of Adorno's and

Foucault's critical approaches. I argue that they converge in a genealogical problematization of the present, which aims at modifying their addressees' sensibility in order to encourage its radical transformation. In contrast to the view that they lack normative theorizing, Chapter 4 reviews Adorno's and Foucault's accounts of the normativity of critique, while illustrating their common attempt at reaffirming the emancipatory thrust of Enlightenment modernity. Chapter 5 examines their responses to the ethico-political challenges of the present through a comparison of Adorno's

ethics of resistance with Foucault's late politics of the governed. The chapter terminates by suggesting a potential integration of Foucault's call for creative resistance with Adorno's politics of suffering.
