Art, critics and society at Georg Lukács and Theodor Adorno

Abstract

This article proposes to analise the main lines of the aesthetical teories of Georg Lukács and Theodor Adorno. The objetcive is to demonstrate that, although their differents positions at the marxist tradition, their perspectives merge at the fundamental points. To reach this goal, three points of discussion will be attained: the question of the ontology at their theories, their conceptions of artwork and the way that they understand the aesthetical form of the vanguards.
