Adorno wrote Minima Moralia for Horkheimer as a shared reckoning with the postwar situation.

Evidence

Minima Moralia represented a kind of aphoristic continuation of the Dialectic of Enlightenment, or its aphoristic section at least. There was no question of any change in his point of view, based on the expectation of a new Germany and on the revival of old hopes. Like Marcuse’s February 1947 paper, Minima Moralia was written for Horkheimer as a contribution towards mutual comprehension of the current situation. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 418
