Adorno rejected any identity of theory and practice

Evidence

I believe the problem is posed incorrectly. It interprets Marxism totally, which is to say: idealistically. There is no continuum – no identity of theory and practice. In a certain sense, practice is more modest than philosophy, and philosophy in turn doesn’t assimilate into Marxism. — Dirk Braunstein, Adorno’s Critique of Political Economy, 341
