Negative Dialectics positioned itself against both the philosophy of science and traditional epistemology

Evidence

Taken as a whole, Negative Dialecticsas the title suggested, since it did not refer to the contents of the bookwas a kind of counterpart, in the theory of philosophy, both to the philosophy of science and to traditional epistemology. At the same time, this compromise distanced the book from ontology, which was inimical to both science and theory. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 643
