Adorno prescribed immanent dissolution as the method for dismantling Nazi philosophy.

Evidence

In May 1936 he suggested that Horkheimer write an extended observation on the philosophy of Nazism' in a highly dialectical manner, which would have to produce the immanent dissolution of this sort of philosophy’, this swindle, `which is tremendously progressive to the extent that it is no longer adequate to conceal the truth’. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 208
