MORENO, María Rita. Between “Actuality”, “Upcoming” Philosophy and the “Origin”. Critical Borders in the Philosophies of Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2022, n.64, pp.307-335.  Epub 13-Feb-2023. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v640.1985.

In this article I analyze the connection between the concepts of “actuality”, “upcoming” and “origin” found in the early reflections of Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno to expose some of the defining borders of the transposition of criticisms made by both philosophers. Through the identification of “actuality” as a reflection on the conditions in which philosophy is legitimate, “upcoming” as a requisite for self-justification of philosophical knowledge, and “origin” as the claim of the historically unfinished, I show in what sense a critical horizon is recovered by Benjamin and Adorno as an inexorable exercise of philosophical praxis.

Palabras llave : actuality; upcoming philosophy; origin; critique; Walter Benjamin; Theodor Adorno.
