Almost nine years ago, Adorno answered the question "Does philosophy still have a purpose?" as follows: "The only philosophy we might responsibly engage in after all that has happened would no longer make any pretense of being in control of the absolute. Indeed, it would have to forbid itself to think the absolute, lest it betray the thought. And yet it must not allow anything to be taken away from the emphatic concept of the truth. This contradiction is its element."
(T. W. Adorno, Eingriffe, Frankfurt am Main, 1963, p. 14.)
