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 ahighly 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
