Applying dialectical labels trustingly substitutes for resolving the underlying problem

Evidence

Where Adorno saw one of Benjamin’s problems as having been solved by the use of a Marxist thought process, Benjamin saw an abridgement of a problem which in its unabridged form remained a puzzle. … He accused Benjamin of having archaic prejudices, but he himself was far too thoughtless in his use of dialectical transcendence. He handed out the labels mythical', fetishistic’, reified' and alienated’ extremely generously, and then, with the music of the Schoenberg circle as a model before him, `dialecticized the object thoroughly’, trusting to the power of the warming, illuminating consciousness. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 237

Categorization

• XREF: Adorno’s generous use of ‘mythical’, ‘fetishistic’, ‘reified’ connects to the Frankfurt School’s mature critique of instrumental reason and the culture industry, which this book traces. — connects to: Predictive labels displace case facts and determine how clients get treated — Michael Lipsky, Street-Level Bureaucracy: Dilemmas of…, 966; Secondary codification of truth through dialectic remains structurally unclarified — Niklas Luhmann, Trust and Power, 644; Political vagueness substitutes identification for programmatic trustworthiness — Russell Hardin, Trust and Trustworthiness, 769 (+4 more)
• DEFINE: ‘Dialecticized the object thoroughly’ names the specific interpretive move of dissolving a thing into its contradictions by fiat.
