Adorno's Negative Dialectics posit an account of experience which generates a reconfigured rationality. The epistemological critique and reformulation offered by Adorno is well-positioned to diminish the impetus for modern violence and the exploitative tendencies inherent in coloniality, which persists even today. Coloniality, in addition to being a issue concerning ethics, ontology, and political action, is an epistemological issue concerned with one’s perception of reality and the recognition and treatment of knowledge. Adorno, through his account of experience, offers an alternative understanding of subject-object mediation, dialectical processes, and the nature of judgement that encourage relations “between persons in which the one accommodates to the other, identifies with the other, empathizes with the other.” In so doing, he offers a new way of understanding experience that may serve as a useful tool in decolonial theory and praxis. This thesis explores the modern impetus for violence, the nature of coloniality, the main thesis of Adorno’s negative dialectics, and assesses the potential for Adornian thought in decoloniality.
