Adorno XIII 195
Necessity/Democritus/Adorno: Second principle: Nothing happens accidentally, but everything happens for a reason and with a legal necessity.
This necessity is not supposed to be a category mediated by consciousness, or even by sensory impressions, but is supposed to be simply inherent in matter itself.
This denies two things:
a) The freedom of the human being.
There is no radical difference between the soul and matter.
b) The teleology concept.
The notion that the things themselves have a purpose in them, is excluded.
>Teleology, >Purpose, >Freedom, >Consciousness.
