Th.W. Adorno on Nominalism - Dictionary of Arguments
XII 107 Nominalism/Adorno: Prehistory: Aristotle's critique of Plato. Concept/Plato/Adorno: for Plato, the concepts were independent and being-in-itself and indestructible and eternal, namely, the ideas. >Ideas/Plato, >Logos/Plato, >Language/Plato, >Words/Plato. AristotelesVsPlato/Adorno: these concepts should instead be mediated and fulfilled with concrete and factual. >Concepts/Aristotle, >Logos/Aristotle, >Plato/Aristotle. Kant/Adorno: he has also transferred this critical motive to the concept of God in opposition to the reification. --- XIII 56 Nominalism/Adorno: Nominalism is the view, which in principle views the concepts as abbreviations of the matters covered by them, and denies the concepts - in any case tendentially - the independence against what they contain among themselves. This western view belongs to Kant himself. In the consequence of nominalism, the subjective moment of the concept of idea prevails. >Concepts/Kant, >God/Kant, >Immanuel Kant._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
