TY - JOUR A1 - Beukes, Johann C. T1 - Anderbereddering: Met Adorno by die hartslag van die postmoderne intellek T1 - Other illumination: With Adorno at the heartbeat of the post-modern intellect T2 - HTS Hervormde teologiese studies N2 - In this article Adorno's critique of identity thinking and modem systems of thought are exploited within the context of the current debate of modernity. It is argued that the usurpation of the so-called Other (which the author Calls "Anderverdringing") is at the core of modem thought, and that the illumination of the Other (which the author calls "Ander-bereddering") is at the core of postmodern thought. Habermas' theory of communicative action is used to bring Adorno's critique of identity thinking to the Jore as a form ofpostmodern critique, exactly in the sense that Adorno's philosophy is essentially Otherilluminating.
