MORENO, María Rita. The Interpretation of the Unclosed: Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno's Considerations about Philosophical Praxis. Eidos [online]. 2022, n.37, pp.71-103.  Epub 10-Jun-2022. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.37.193.

Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno elaborate a reflection on the actuality of philosophy as a result of the disagreement between truth and knowledge that hatches in the bosom of modernity. Consequently, in this work we propose to trace how Adorno and Benjamin direct their reflections on philosophical praxis towards the epistemological concern about the interpretation of the unclosed. The route that we propose allows us to show, first of all, that both thinkers develop a critique of philosophical rationality crossed by the dialectical warning about the presence of the unfinished. Secondly, that the Critical Theory conceived by them finds in interpretation the practical way on which philosophical actuality depends, because -as we expose in our analisis- to interpret constitutes the theoretical possibility of repairing the despised in the dialectical deployment of modernity.

Palabras clave : Walter Benjamin; Theodor Adorno; interpretation; unclosed; philosophical praxis; critique; dialectic.
