Adorno read Heidegger as expressing dialectical structures undialectically

Evidence

In Heidegger’s conception of Being, in which mediation was as it were stretched out into a non-objective objectivity, a transitive transcendent, Adorno saw an ontological distortion of the dialectical fact that Dasein, the subject as a constituent, already presupposes the facticity that it constitutes. In his view, Heidegger had attempted to express dialectical structures in an undialectical way, and to do justice to the suspended character of philosophy which consists neither of vérités de raison nor of vérités de fait. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2510
