ADORNO AND PHILOSOPHY AS SNOW WHITE
ADORNO AND PHILOSOPHY AS SNOW WHITE

Summary/Abstract: Since Gorgias of Leontini to postmodernism, there had been many attempts to change both reality and man. Some traces are alive in man`s purposes. We may see the instrumental rationality and the significant rationality at work between the search of happiness and moral skepticism. The aim of this paper is to observe that the term ŗacceptableŗ is referring to the essential need of our spirit and soul. The term deserves a new dignity as concept of our selected encompassing. Why has man never stopped at the Acceptable? What is beyond the Acceptable? Maybe we find ideals, utopias and idols. It is everything we gather round about our acts having illusions as results . Man`s fate is in direct connection with the distance from his own choice, the horizon of expectation for something else than all that we let to fill it at random. As common sense if we may discover the Acceptable, why don`t we reject the unacceptable? Could we construe such a habit Ŕ in which reason itself follows the same pulses of agreeing or rejecting - of living our truth (a kind of spiritual experience): both epistemic and ethical, based on our given existence as it is?
