JUAREZ, ESTEBAN ALEJANDRO. ADORNO, HAMLET AND THE ADDED FACTOR. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2022, vol.71, suppl.9, pp.101-117.  Epub June 25, 2024. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v71n9supl.106744.

This article analyzes the great importance of Shakespeare's Hamlet for T. W. Adorno's philosophy, even though he did not write extensively about it. The drama appears mainly in his oral discourse and serves as a model for describing the relationship of discontinuity between theory and practice. Here we wish to show how the critical theorist of abstract moral thought thinks the transition from knowledge to praxis based on the link between Hamlet and the so-called "added factor" (Das Hinzutretende). From this reading, Adorno's Hamlet represents a key site of failed transitions.

Keywords : T. W. Adorno; Hamlet; addendum; theory; praxis.
