Rauno,

My feelings are that the subcategory of critical reason was seen by H & A.
to be "infected" with the dialectic of enlightenment ('the seed of
reversal') as were other subcategories of Reason. Put simply the entire
category of Reason was susceptible to inversion. So Adorno at least turned
to art to recover any notion of positive enlightenment.
