Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze some fragments of Minima moralia, within the framework of Theodor W. Adorno's reflections on moral philosophy. I consider that the notions of negative freedom and melancholy make visible the critical-negative ingredient of the text, with which Adorno analyzes moral action, allowing us to escape from positive and edifying readings. The paper is made up of four brief sections: in the first, I provide a minimal characterization of Adorno's moral philosophy; in the second, I analyze the objective conditions that limit the emergence of a moral subject in modern-capitalist society; in the third section, I deal with the notion of resistance; finally, the last part contains the analysis of the fragments.
