Work in Progress 1 AGAINST METAPHYSICS RUNNING AMOK: HEGEL, ADORNO, AND THE INEFFABLE Abstract: Adorno's metaphysics as developed in his Negative Dialectics revolve around what he calls the ‘Nonidentical'. The Non-identical is essentially ineffable and can only be understood negatively, through Adorno's method of ‘negative dialectics'. Negative dialectics are Adorno's answer to Hegelian metaphysics, which he criticises for its “consistent resolution of non-identity into pure identity” (Adorno, Negative Dialectics, ‘Meditations on Metaphysics', The Semblance of Otherness).
