Abstract

In the present paper, the critical theory view of modernity is studied from the ontology of social fluidity standpoint. To do that, «Dialectics of Illustration, Philosophical Fragments» —and part of the bibliography derived from it— is analyzed, in order to show that the initial diagnosis of such philosophical current has been largely overcome by modern liquefaction. While the initial diagnosis was determined by the experiences of Holocaust and totalitarism in their different manifestations, the ontology of social fluidity stems from the expansion of global capitalism, the technological revolution and the virtual mediatic culture. For that reason, it makes sense to ask about the extent to which the original perspectives of the critical theory still remain as a source of an interpretation of modernity, nowadays in crisis. In addition to this, the contributions of the critical theory could provide to understand social fluidity.En el presente texto se examina la visión de la modernidad de la teoría crítica a la luz de la ontología de la fluidez social. Para ello se recurre a un análisis de «Dialéctica de la ilustración. Fragmentos filosóficos » —y parte de la bibliografía que de ella se deriva— para mostrar que el diagnóstico inicial de dicha corriente ha resultado ampliamente superado por la licuefacción moderna. Mientras el diagnóstico inicial estaba determinado por las experiencias del Holocausto y el totalitarismo en sus distintas versiones, la ontología de la fluidez social encuentra sus referentes en la expansión del capitalismo global, la revolución tecnológica y la cultura mediático virtual. Por ello cabe preguntarse que queda de las perspectivas originales de la teoría crítica en cuanto donante de una interpretación de la modernidad hoy en crisis. Igualmente, se analizan los aportes que la teoría crítica puede allegar a la comprensión de la fluidez social.
