To Consider Immanence and Transcendence from the Dialectical Point of View——Adorno's Critique of Neutralized Metaphysics and Its Enlightenment
The traditional metaphysics is confined to the self-sustaining mode.Modern philosophy has re-tained metaphysics while rejecting traditional metaphysics,but these new metaphysics lack a critical dimen-sion and are neutralized metaphysics.Although Heidegger's philosophy of death goes beyond traditional metaphysics,it is still an extension of the self-sustaining mode.It lacks the same critical reflection on real-ity as the transcendental lament that"everything is empty".Therefore,although both Adorno and Heideg-ger internalize the transcendent,there are important differences in how they deal with the relationship be-tween transcendence and immanence.Adorno's dialectical understanding of the relationship between imma-nence and transcendence has important enlightening significance for us to rethink metaphysics and human civilization.
