Habermas’s paradigm discarded the domination-of-nature question Adorno had left unfinished

Evidence

What was not plausible, however, was the exclusion of a further dimension which played an important part for Adorno: the beauty of nature. Another question was also disregarded, one which had not yet been reduced to insignificance by being raised and emphasized by a restricted paradigmthe question of the relationship between the domination of external nature and internal, corporeal nature and the connection between the domination of nature and social conditions. This was a problem which had yet to be examined with a degree of concreteness and a degree of saturation in the subject-matter that Adorno and Horkheimer had never attempted. Adorno’s death was a caesura. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 688
