Kant rescued objectivity by passing it through subjectivity according to Adorno.

Evidence

For Adorno, the great forerunner of Husserlprecisely in the exposure of contradictionswas Kant, who, as Adorno stated in his `Introduction to Epistemology’ lecture course in the winter semester of 1957-8, had attempted to rescue objectivity by passing it through subjectivity, to turn transcendence inward into the transcendental, and to put what was beyond experience on a level with the conditions that are constitutive for knowledge. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2272
