Social synthesis and idealistic abstraction. Materialistic attempts on the philosophy of idealism
Abstract
This paper presents a comparative account of the developments of A. Sohn-Rethel’s and
Th. W. Adorno’s interpretation of Kantian Philosophy from a materialistic position. They utilize
the notions of commodity fetishism or social synthesis in order to articulate their theories of social
domination. Their analyzes show that the concept of the transcendental subject represents not only
something abstract, but the society unaware of itself.
