Illusion of Reality and Reality of Abstraction: To Adorno?s Sociological Method
Original language description
The paper discusses Adorno's critical conceptual understanding of social totality and its methodological implications. It explores relation of Adorno's critical conception of sociology to Marx?s project of critique of political economy and to the concepts of commodity fetishism and ideology. The central presupposition on which the social whole reproduces itself is an abstract equivalent that is realized and practically validated in the exchange process. According to Adorno, all the social interactions are mediated by the abstract equivalent that makes exchange of commodities possible. Subsequently, ?economy? appears as a natural and eternal condition of human existence in this social relationship. However, this illusionary semblance (Schein) springs from a determinate, historically specific conditions under which people, socially mediated individuals, satisfy their needs. They produce not for their immediate consumption, but for market.
